Still trusting that existence is balanced.

Its difficult coping at the moment with my mum's leg breaking due to brittle bones on the Eve of mum's day and putting her in hospital. And three days later her daughter, my lovely sister, jumped from a carpark roof due to sheer stresses. Impossible to process, but I think that life without tragedy would be a joke.

what can I say words may sound meaningless to you at this sad and traumatic time you are in my thoughts and prayers, that your mom will heal soon and that your sister may find peace at last.

Oh BB

My heart goes out to you at this dreadful time. Please don't bottle things up though you need support and we are here for you.

A favorite saying I keep repeating 'how you you eat an elephant' reply 'a mouthful at a time'. Which means when you are overwhelmed take it in manageable steps - it's all we can do and if we persevere we will get there.

Lots of hugs
