    i'm very sorry for your loss. i can only imagine how this must be making you feel. feeling sad is natural, you've had a big shock and you need to take as much time as you need to grieve, and to heal from this. i know what you mean about wishing you could turn back the clock, i've felt this myself with close family relations.

    you're in my thoughts ((((hugs))))

    Sorry to hear that.

    I think that is a common reaction at times like this.

    Take care of yourself as best you can and give yourself some time out if you need it.

    My dad died last week. Funeral was yesterday. Last few days have been a blur to be honest and it's hard to get a grip on things. Crying I think, can help although I'm no expert. I think having a mix of family time and alone time also helps.
    There is no right or wrong way to deal with grief, I think, it is as personal as you are.

    Much kind wishes in your direction. I know a part of me has been wanting to tell everyone because it was so very important to me and a part of me doesn't want to go out and face the world again.
  • Im so sorry
