Hi all,
As you know I was beginning to look into volunteer work to help me in memory of my father. I have found out today I have an interview for a volunteer position on Tuesday (I will let you all know how it goes!)
I am more interested in this than ever before as me and my partner broke up a few days ago. He didn't let me grieve and the stress tore us apart.
I am joining up at my new GP's tomoro so i can begin to get some help for the depression.
Thanks for reading 
Laura xx
Laura that sounds REALLY interesting..you will be amazing at helping others.. and I hope you enjoy it and that it takes your mind off you relationship problem.....When your mind is so focused on one person you love especially when they are so ill, you hope that that is the time the person in your life will be there for you. Unfortunately some people are not able to accept that......His loss , but all the other people you are going to helps gain
Good luck,
Love Sohara
That's good news Laura, hope it helps you Best Wishesx
Good for you Laura and thanks so much for the update, was wondering how you were doing.
You may remember I mentioned my daughter lost her dad just 3 years ago? Her beloved boyfriend dumped her just 3 months later too. He was just too immature to deal with it and she was doubly grief stricken. Three years on she's been with Mark for over a year, very happy and realises what a lucky escape she had.
She and her sisters miss their Dad every day but each day gets easier.
I'm so glad you're going to ask for help too. Grief can make you ill but it is an emotion we aren't well equipped to handle by ourselves.
All the best to you and good luck next Tuesday xxxx Peeg
Losing someone you love isn't easy at any time. I was 50 when I lost my dad, still miss him. I hope that you have a new year as good as the one he would have wanted for you. Xx
Oh I am sorry Laura your partner was not able to deal with illness and bereavement at a time when you need support the most. A lovely, caring and beautiful young woman like you deserves much more.
Good on ya Laura for getting some help with your depression.
Good luck on Tuesday - yeah please do let us know how you get on - you have so much to offer and they will be lucky to have you. Your Father would be so proud.
With love

Really lovely replies for a lovely Lady. Take care and good luck for the future.
I am wishing you every success Laura.
You are doing extremely well taking strides to help you through this difficult time.
Thank you so much for letting us know how you are doing, I am sorry things have not worked out with your partner.
But keep focussed on what may be the right thing for you at this time and I am sure you won't go far wrong.
I am sure your Dad will be so very proud of you.
Hugs n Luv BC x x
Laura, you are such a positive lady coping with your problems. Of course, there will be sad moments but you have made yourself busy. All the best xx
Good luck Laura. Well done for finding something so positive to do. Helping others will help you too. Your dad would be so proud. Pity the boyfriend was not a good enough man to be supportive. You don't need negativit! Alison
Hi Laura,that's grand to hear,do hope it turns out well for you.Sorry about the lost romance,but you probably had a lucky escape,as Peegs daughter found out! Maybe a bit soon to realise that,as you would still be sad about it,at the moment.
Will be thinking of you next Tuesday,let us know how you go,
your Dad would be so proud of you. xxxx
Best of luck x New Year New Start and all that x
Hi Laura, it is great that you have found a volunteering opportunity that will suit you and I hope it all goes well. What a shame about your partner and you splitting but sadly, these things do happen in times of crisis. Hopefully, you will get all the help you need at your G.P.'s and I do wish you well. Take care and stay in touch. xxxx
Oh Laura,
I'm so sorry to hear of your break up. I think, yes, a volunteer job will build your self confidence and it is quite a boost to the system, especially if you do it in the memory of your gather.
Did you know that the pulmonary team usually has a counsellor. I had one from them; she was one to one and brilliant. I sorted things from my youth and she helped me with standing up for myself as myself and not as my dad (who criticised me; sorry about this reference. My dad was a bit of a bully and did not accept failure as part of the learning process. My learning had to be perfect. When it wasn't he was very disappointed with me, and would dismiss me completely.) or as my mu who was wonderful, but had very determined idea of what to do in life. I hope that you can find yourself and be strengthened in your grief. Best wishes and remember the sweet times with your dad.
Good luck being a volunteer is very rewarding I used to volunteer for guide dogs I would take in guide dogs in the last 18 week of training they gave me a reason to get up in a morning
