What a Week!

[Whickerman]

Some of you will know I've had a rubbsh time lately health-wise. Unfortunately I've been lumbered with a lot of work as my colleagues are on hols, so i'm the only one holding the fort, so I haven't been able to take time off to recover.
Wednseday, I find out that my expected niece/nephew will be born still-born as their brain just isn't developed and there's no hope.
My gran died today.

Can you post a few life-affirming thoughts please?

BOO - if you're in tonight, can i have a cake please?

[cruella]

Oh my god, you are having a terible tim of it just now.
I am sorry to hear you lost your Gran today and also about the Niece/ Nephew.
Take heart, they will be able to go off together, your Gran looking after you wee one.
Wish there was something I could say to make you feel better.
Try to chill out tonight with a nice bottle of wine and get a good night's sleep.
Easier said than done but take care of yourself too.
Shigles will not get any better with all this distress.

The sun will rise in the morning and will shine on you as brightly as everyone else.

Sounds as if you are having a rough time, sincere best wishes.

Whickerman,
Sending a (((hug))).

Life-affirming? us pixels are here lol... so I guess we're still alive.

Darling Baby. I hope your journey is safe and peaceful.

Hang on in there Whickerman. xxx

That's awful, truly. I agree with cruella about your Gran looking after the little one though. Please think of it as a good thing that she went at the same time - I'm convinced there's more to life than we know. Your gran will be looking out for you too, maybe making sure good times are not too far around the corner?

Sorry if that sounds a bit trite, but it is heartfelt. xxx

So sorry whickerman, what an awful time for you, what must be terrible for you is the fact that you have probably got to try and be strong and supportive to the others in these situations,i.e. brother/sister and mum/dad and not give yourself some TLC.
Work---soon as you can book some time off.
Baby and Gran --give support to others but remember your grief too, and tell people!! tell them how much you were looking forward to baby and tell them how much Gran meant to you.
and my only life affirming thought even though it's not a very good one is.....everything happens for a reason.

Whickerman, really sorry! Hugs from the answerbank family.

I'm sad that you are going through such a sad stressing time, you don't deserve it.
I wish you better times ahead.

Part of a poem I remember from childhood (don't know all of it but this part is apt)....

'When the storm clouds break and drain, then silent goes the rain,
the promise of the rainbow means the sun will shine again'.

I wish you a rainbow...

Big hugs Whickerman - you really are having a tough time of it lately. Sorry for your brother/sister to have to go through what must be one of the most difficult of situations. Take time to grieve for your gran and the baby.
I am at a bit of a loss for words too and all I can say is that things will get better although that sounds a bit trite.
Take care
