Lovely quote, Bri !
I find people try to be kind and I appreciate it but they sometimes come out with all sorts of platitudes maybe because it's so hard to know what to say !!
Those who have helped me most are the ones who have just let me talk about my anger and frustration, my complete cynicism over any purpose to life and the sense of how damn unfair the world is, without needing to say anything to try to be comforting.
I have to laugh at those who told me 2015 will be better ! On Jan 2nd a motorist went straight into the side of my beloved VW Transporter which I could well have done without then on Jan 12th I had to have my old dog, Zari, put to sleep, again, there was a sort of black humour about it as I was able to give her a much better end of life than the NHS gave Neil !
I dont feel the need to say I have learned anything or am a better person after the experience of Neil's death, as some do, it just feels absolutely wretched !
However, this year, if everything goes to plan, I am determined to have another collie pup, I always used to threaten Neil with another one, I cannot imagine what the last four months would have been without my dogs, and for them I am utterly grateful !
Carol, I am thinking of you and dear Eric.
