Smoky - I already posted earlier on this thread, but it's just occurred to me that you may have chosen not to return to yesterday's daily thread, or simply not got round to it. Therefore I hope nobody minds if I re-post the link I posted there yesterday, in case it has passed you by:On a practical note, I don't know whether you're aware of THIS THREAD over on the Families board which Martin put together after another poster's husband died. It should give you a great deal of practical assistance.
((hugs)) again to you and yours
