Thank you all for your kind replies. I took sleeping tablet last night so managed to sleep more. It is so good to know there is so much support at such a difficult time, I have never had life so stressful.
I have friends taking my 5 year old out today and another one is going to help me prioritse what I have to do as we move out in 2 weeks time.
I will keep you informed, Thanks again.
Paul and Nicola

I managed to duplicate meesage and now I can't get rid off this box without putting something in it and so I thought I had better write something so I can close this reply. My poor head it hurts.

OMG going through crap like this really puts life into perspective!
We went through similar last year and thought we would never get through it but somehow you do!
Just make sure you tell her everything you have always wanted too we missed that chance!
Stress out on here as much as you like ,as everyone else has said there will always be someome here for you

Be Strong
Take Care of yourself

Wink Re: How bad can it get?

I know that this kind of feeling can be very intense. When I went thorugh a divorce in a foreign country with 2 children many years ago without any frieds or relatives I felt similar desperation. At one point I was so stressed me breath becamse very short and heavy an I thought I was going to die of some heart failure. I started to pray to Jesus and Mary for help. And slowly gradually I had built my life back up from no money no house no job and no strength. My life is now - many years later,so much better. If you were a Christian I would recommend the same. Give me the name of your sister. I will pray for her too. Best wishes. Gerard

Nothing I can say that will help in any way, other than I feel so dreadfully sorry for you and your family at this awful time. Without going all religious coz I am not at all religious but have you ever heard the Serenity prayer :

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

This really helped me when my mum was dying...... Look after yourself Nicola and live your life as your sister would want you to

Much love to you

Oh Nicola
Thought I would log on at 2am because I cant sleep as I am stressing about the move and I read this and it puts everything into perspective.
You poor girl, how on earth are you keeping it together?
I am so sorry that your sister is terminally ill, life is so unfair and she is so young too for gods sake.
I am not surprised you have lost it, who wouldn't lose it?
Really not much else I can say apart from I will try again to sleep now and not stress about immaterial stuff and think of you and your sister and send you lots of good wishes.

Take Care

So sad to hear your bad news, Nicola. You and your sister are in my thoughts.

Take care of yourself - try and get rest, even if you can't sleep.

I wish I could say something profound that would make the hurt go away, but I cant. All I can say is. We really feel for you.
