Nearly Clapping Time!

That's all.

[Old_Geezer]

Was always just a gesture at best nails.

[gness]

And if my nephew dies, Nailit how do we get over that?

[Old_Geezer]

Same as anyone with a family tragedy does.
We all know family members who are no longer with us. It's painful, but we cope.

[gness]

If you thought about it OG you'd realise that the medics dying in these circumstances is different....or perhaps you wouldn't.

[anneasquith]

The mod who removed that answer imo was wrong. Leave the different points of view ( even when abhorrent) for all to view .

[JimF]

Was the removed post even slightly anti-Tory?

[anneasquith]

What an odd post from Jim!

[bednobs]

i presume it had something to do with gness's nephew, otherwise her response is a non-sequitur

[gness]

It's not a post I want to read when I wake up every morning wondering if my loved ones are going to get through the day safely, Anne.

[sanmac]

I fully agree with the post at 2111.

[anneasquith]

G, you don’t have to read the post again.

[anneasquith]

Many of us have friends/family working in the NHS, it’s a stressful time for everyone .

[gness]

Why the hell should I have to read it once, Anne. That was bloody hurtful as it was.
Nailit has had plenty of support on AB when he needed it. Wouldn't hurt him to return it.

[Old_Geezer]

A death of a loved one is still a death of a loved one.

[gness]

The death is, OG but the circumstances are not always.
An hour ago we were told that my mother will pass away in the care home today.
Although not always close I cared for her in the early years of dementia and got her into a home close to me when it became too much for my brother and I.
Today is not the end I expected. Of course we are not alone in this but there would be an ease if my brother and I could be with her, holding her hands.
