  • Not been on for a couple of days, so just trying to catch up

    Cat - just wanted to send hugs to you and your DS, how very sad, but at least DS had his Dad for a few months so hopefully (given time) will have some positive memories. Just remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself time to grieve as well as being there for DS
