Whats happened Margaret?

My husbands bil accidently drowned in a river in our town, its a tragic story, when i posted he was still missing, the police found his body 5 days later, another few days he would've been washed to sea.

He was a great guy, age 40, leaves his wife and two young boys, His wife (hubbys sister), hubby and her were close a long time ago , i think she really needs him just now.

He is going back to see everyone in June, this was a plan as his father also v.ill.

Never rains but it pours so they say

Really sorry to hear that Margaret, its dreadful

Hugs and prayers for you and your hubby, and the family back home xx

thanks all, to be honest, its all a bit confusing how we feel over here, feeling a bit detached from it, but part of it, want to be there to help/suppor/experience it...........very confusing!!!!!!

But one thing i can say with certantity, is when i think of the two boys i want to put my head in my hands and weep

Thats awful Margaret, I am so sorry.

This is when the distance hits you and you realise 'I am only a day away' is bollocks.

That's awful, Margaret,I'm so sorry for your loss.
It must be dreadful for your SIL and the kids

Exactly what my wifes grandmother said to her in 2008, she passed away last year and at first my wife wanted to ignore the advice and fly straight back but after a couple of days and her own mother saying not to go she relented and stayed. Had a small celebration of her life in a private session with the local vicar and on reflection was the best way to handle it. We are going back for a holiday next month and it will be a time of joy and happiness, not sorry.

That's a far more appropriate and meaningful way to cope with personal loss. Likewise, instead of mourning them on the anniversary of the day that they died its better to celebrate on their birthday the time that they spent with us.

since being here 4 years,,perhaps i am just unlucky but..

ive struggled my balls off managing a refurb and getting established at work,at times i dreaded going to work.most weks for the first two years doing 7 days..

risked my life at work.

the ol fella died

i had dvt in my leg from the flight back

i had an embolism(nearly got me the flucker)

they found growths in my chest (golf ball size),which i still dont know to this day if its lymphoma

they found arthritis in my back

i suffer from sleep apnia

my liver was knackered

my uncle who was like a dad to me has had a heart attack..

i am waiting for a call any day about my nan.

i had bikies living next door.

i broke a bone in my back

ive been a victim of racism and had my life made a misery

ive been on the brink of madness..

the boys broke his arm twice.

the house is haunted

the wife could not get a job for love nor money

ive had the car burgled..

i fell out with two really good pals...

but apart from that its been quite a success!!

so to the moral of the story..shit happens..

do i still want to be here..

yes i bleedin love it...and it will take more than a few mishaps to bring this man down...

Usually with Bikies living next door then you are safe from petty burglaries!!!

to be honest they never gave me a problem,there were problems..but they left us alone...mind you some of their own arguments were a little fierce..
