RE: For my sister
Thank you all so much for your lovely kind thoughts.
I went back to the family home on Sunday and have been without a PC all week - it makes me realise how dependant I am on email and also how addicted I am to HP! I'm back home now for 2 days, then back again to the family home again next week for the funeral which is on Tuesday.
It's a tough time for all three of us - me, my sister and my brother - but it seems to be bringing us closer together, just proving that every cloud has a silver lining (even if you have to look darned hard for it sometimes!). I was fine when I was there and rushing around with all the stuff you have to sort out, or busily making tea for all the visitors and agreeing that yes, it was a shock, and yes, it is hard so soon after my father's death. First few times of this are OK, but when you're saying the same words for the umpteenth time that day, you start to feel like a bit of a robot. And now I'm back in my own home and I feel so bereft - more tearful now than when I was there.
We'll make it through, but it is so hard right now.

[color="#9900ff"]Hi Amber Lady
I know how you are feeling right now.My brother in law died suddendly just before christmas.It was an extremly tough time. Five months down the line and still is at times.We had to go to his inquest on Thursday that was hard.
I just wanted to say I have been thinking about you and your family.I can only say I know it is hard with so much to do.But try and give yourself time just to sit and try and relax. You say you are more tearful now that you have got back home. I can fully understand that.I found that when I wasn`t with my sister doing all the things, that you have to do when someone dies.When I got into my own house away from it for a little while. I would be much more tearful.
Let the tears fall Amber lady.Ring your sister and brother if you feel down.I know what you mean about bringing you closer to your family. That is how myself and sisters feel.

[color="#ff0000"]You WILL make it through.(five months down the line We didn`t think we would make it through but we have.Even though it can still be painful).
I know it is so HARD right now.As I said I totally know where you are coming from.All I can say is. Take any help that is offered to you and your family. Try not to do too much or otherwise you will totally overwhelmed.
I will be thinking about you and your family on Tuesday.
Best wishes
Sunrise
