elsien - I think you are WONDERFUL! It's so great having someone on here who knows about things like tell us once xxxxx

Torry - enormous hugs. Looking back it looked a bit flippant to send a hug to you and the same amount of love to your cat. Hope you know I didn't mean this - I was just meaning that the cat probably knows things have changed as well, and is upset that you are upset xxxx

Torry, have you heard of the Tell Us Once service? It won't stop all the letters from banks or whatever, but should let all the relevant government departments know about the circumstances rather than have to do them all
one by one.

When I registered his death the registrar did tell it once at the same appointment. I'm dealing with things like the tax office who were informed by tell it once.

I thought that's where you were coming from, so no worries. The cat is a sensitive wee soul

Hiya Torry.

Been thinking of you.

Sorry that church didn't bring you comfort. It probably will in time, but are you still angry at the moment?

Is there a friend or relative that can help with some of the paperwork and/or phone calls etc?

It was the first time I'd been back since the funeral so was just overwhelmed. It gives me something to do although not easy and I'm taking my time.

Hopefully you will be surrounded by people who bolster you, and whom you can lean on. :A

Was your husband a member of th church too?













:wave: WaS! Nice to see you posting. Sorry to hear your leg has relapsed!
There seems to be a lot of leggy things going on at the moment!

We'll have to start a hop-along club!

There was a TV cowboy in the 50s called Hop-Along Cassidy. I can only barely remember a programme being on called that.
Dunno why he was called Hop-along!





MessedUp.......... one thing I've noticed in the past is that whenever you stop taking one of your meds, you start to become quite hyper. It does become rather obvious. :A:

Please, please don't do that without your doctor's approval. Needing to lose weight isn't a priority over keeping stable mentally. :A
You seem to function so well when your meds are in balance, and cutting one out seems to be really noticeable.

Have you been back to your doctor since you stopped the anti-depressant?

Yes we've both been members for 30 years so a big part of our life.

There must be a lot of very sad people at your church then.
You can grieve with people who knew him.

I went back today got a bit of a telling off for stopping my meds but doc also said that this shows that i need both meds to keep me stable, so will dutifully taking it again tonight. He agreed i shouldn't drive and said i should put him down on the form.

When i said i'd stopped it due to tryng to lose weight he gave me the whole calories in calories out thing, something i'm still in disagreement with (i still think my thyroid is off but forgot to ask about that) but i've decided for the next 3 months i'm going to keep a food diary and if dont lose weight go back armed with that and see what my options are.

That's brilliant, MU! :T well done, you!

Good idea to keep a food diary, too.

That's right. Many are shocked and saddened at his death. Doesn't seem to be of help though.
