Oh H I am so sorry

It is so sad at anytime of the year but especially now, when everyone is busying themselves with the commercialism of Christmas. This is the true time to remember our loved ones who are no longer here.

As for why do they come to you? They do it because they know you are a strong, reliable friend. I know it is hard but take it as a true, true compliment that they do come to you and share their thoughts and feelings, as that is a very special thing you can do for them.
Off load on us as we will on others.

Yet another of my old boys died this morning. I was off this weekend but was with him on Friday night, he was at home to die. His son was there and I was with another carer to change him etc, but he was ok and comfortable so whilst she did odd jobs I held a JRT in one hand and his hand in another. It was a friends little dog and she was an absolute poppet sitting on his hospital bed licking his fingers. I will not forget his smile bless him.

RIP all those who pass at this time of year in particular.

Oh H, I am truly sorry to hear this news.
I think your friend's husband was very brave to give the word to switch off her support.....to stop her suffering any more than she had to.
It is a good thing that he felt able to come to you and talk and get support from you, many men just can't do that and they suffer in silence. You must be a blessing to him.
I know that it is hard to listen when you are feeling full of grief too, you are doing a wonderful thing and your friend will be so grateful for that.
My best wishes for your other friend for next week.
Keep your chin up H. Just keep being you. x

H, I am sooo deeply saddened to read this news. I am soglad you went to see her and she WILL know you were there and that you were there suporting her precious family till the end ...and beyond. Please take comfort in the fact that her time hear was done. Try not to shed tears of saddness that she has gone but tears of laughter for all the funny moments and the good times you had in your strong friendship.

My thoughts are with you and her family. Please look after yourself, allow yourself to remember but remember with a smile...that is most definitely what she would have wanted

Huge hugs H

Oh this is very sad. I am so sorry for your loss, Helen and for your friend's husband and family.

I feel awful for you all and there's nothing I can say to make things better. You were a lovely friend to this lady.

Take care.
