It is not my loss or my tragedy but it is hard not to feel shaken and devastated.

Of course when tragedy hits, the immediate family are the most affected, and their lives are changed forever, but I sometimes think it's not appreciated just how much grief can ripple out across a community...from friends, colleagues, teachers, neighbours...

and the older we get the more we understand how hard it will hit the family involved...I've been to funerals where I've thought I shouldn't be crying because I'm not immediate family, but I think I'm crying for the ones left behind because I know how hard it's going to be for them.

So it's totally understandable that you're feeling so sad...
the car is a good idea, that's my go-to crying place too
or maybe wait until the workmen have stopped for lunch?

Hi all

Just reading back through the posts - I was only saying what works for me as I know that is what happened to myself not necessarily for everyone else.

I was just being concerned because I was worried you weren't eating enough

I don't know if it's a myth or not, science has never been my thing. Didn't mean to offend anyone if I have, I didn't realise Molly was ill (really sorry) and if that is what works for people then that's what works.

Sorry

No offence taken from me either

(((daisiegg))), you need time and space to cry, to grieve, for the girl you knew and taught. There is no 'I shouldn't because..' just because you weren't related, we cry for friends, neighbours, teachers and pupils alike. My deepest sympathies and prayers for some small comfort to her family.

Daisiegg I am so sorry for your loss. It can be so hard when we don't feel it is 'our loss' as it makes grief even more difficult and confusing because you're not sure how to react or what you are supposed to do. It messes with emotions even more. Thinking of you and her family too *hug*

Daisyegg of course you feel sad you can't spend time and see a youngster flourish over three years not to feel bad when she is no longer there.Its not daft its perfectly normal.Death is a cruel master especially when it takes someone so young.My thoughts are with you and the very sad family.I can't think of anything worse than to bury your child.
may her family find peace at some point
Much love

Daisiegg sorry about the poor child, so terribly sad, poor family. Will keep them in my prayers today.

Re. Food, not done terribly well this week, probably will weigh myself Saturday or Sunday but not expecting miracles. Seriously considering a modified 5:2, cannot manage 500 cals but could start at 800 or so or a couple of days. Am getting quite desperate to do something positive for weight loss.

I had a real scare yesterday, as I saw someone who had been very fat in the past, then lost loads, when I saw her last Christmas I had to do a double take! Well, saw her yesterday and she seems to have put most of it back on. In her I saw myself, as my weight is creeping back. Won't allow it to happen, though!

Very miserable week food wise as my tummy is still very unpredictable. Im up this late as I have just had a late night commune with huey on the great white telephone !!!

Hubby says to not eat for 24 hours but that in itself makes me retch as Im starving. Really weird - any ideas what I can eat?

Hugs x
