In need of a hug

I am sitting with my dad tonight in hospital. He is getting palliative care for inoperable brain bleeds. The night is so dark (no moonlight) and the feelings of gloom and helplessness seems darker and heavier than the day before.

Dearest blackcat, as I sit here in the darkness with you, know you are not

alone. My heart goes out to both you and your dad during this lonely journey.

May you feel the gentle hug I send you for comfort. Know that I care :) xx

Thank you for that comforting message. Dad has passed away 😢 and his funeral was last week.

I am so grateful to the people here for keeping our family 👪 supported at this time.

In a card was the words "grief is so much love with no place to go" 💗 it's so true.

Dear blackcat, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family at this most

difficult time. Tears came to my eyes reading "grief is so much love with no place

to go" thinking about my own father's passing many years ago. May you be comforted

at this time knowing you are not alone. With love, with sorrow Agora1 xx
