so sorry to hear the news about your stepfather.

[Hidden in reply to Jaybird19]

Thank you 😊 finally sat down

[HollyBoyd]

So sorry to hear of your loss, Davey. My thoughts are with you and the family and I trust all goes well for you on Monday xxx ❤️

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

Thank you , now I really am alone . It seems to be it's all I can do is lose people . 😞😞😞

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

I don't really think that is true, Davey. You knew that your father-in-law was unwell and it was his time to pass, nothing you could do to prevent that. Have you got your friend nearby, to help you through this? Can you ask neighbours to help you with the funeral arrangements? You know we are here for you to talk to, so don't hesitate to come on and let us know how things are going. Take care now xxx

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

I've kinda isolated myself from folks , I've been keeping myself to myself plus there's the language barrier . But all funeral arrangements I've completed so I'm now taking a well earned ten minutes with a jack Daniels

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

That's good you have funeral arrangements made. You will be feeling like a rest from the stress. Hope you are feeling a little more relaxed, take care of yourself xxx

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

Yes glad getting things sorted was pretty straight forward. Can't settle I feel totally lost and alone in a village full of people.

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

I think that's understandable Davey, it has been quite a shock losing your father-in-law and will have left you feeling all alone after having him there for so long. Give yourself time to grieve so that in time you will go out and meet people again. Can you not contact your friend who took you for a meal the other night, he would be happy to support you at this difficult time. Go easy on yourself xxx

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

If I'm totally honest I'm more angry that he went not me . I have my reasons for this . I'm cleaning up at moment trying to keep mind occupied. Was in a bad place before today but this as just added to it . Normally I would be on the roof looking at the stars but tonight just want to keep busy .

[Ergendl in reply to Hidden]

Anger is a part of the process of grieving, just one of the phases and is quite normal after someone dies. Do be kind to yourself. It's good that you're reaching out to us at this time.

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

Just wanted to say, that last night I made the mistake of saying it was your father-in-law that you had lost and now i realise it was your stepfather. I do apologise, Davey, really got mixed up, which didn't help you much!! What lovely messages of sympathy you have had from your friends here, we are all thinking of you xxx

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

I truly appreciate the thought of you all and don't worry the father bit 😉 just back from seeing the grave diggers yet another bill paid 👍🏼

[HollyBoyd in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for that, Davey xxx ❤️

[Hidden in reply to HollyBoyd]

Truly meant ❤️

[Ergendl in reply to Hidden]

If you're in much of the day, you could learn modern Greek online. You're in the best place to practice, in Rhodes.

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

I think at the moment I have enough to get on with . I've spent five years caring for my stepfather and missed out on too much care for my own health . I intend to enjoy my night sky and the peace. My short term memory loss would also cause issues with learning languages I have days when I struggle remembering where the TV remote is 👍🏼

[peege]

Goodness I'm so sorry to hear this. Only yesterday you were saying that he'd still be there long after you. Heartfelt condolences. P 🙏

[Hidden in reply to peege]

Thank you and believe me when I say I wish I could change places with him .

Hi Davey

I’m sorry about your stepfather, but also to hear that you wish you had gone first. That’s a really hard place to be in. It must be extremely difficult when you don’t speak fluent Greek, coping with all this, and your own ill health.

As others have said, we are here for you, and feel free to message too,

Take care - love and light to you

Hello Dolly

[Hidden in reply to Hellodolly]

Maybe I will get my wish .

My condolences to you Dave, death of a family member is hard to deal with especially dealing with it on your own as I did with my Mum, good that things have been dealt with quickly, it helps to keep busy. Will be thinking of you on Monday, chin up x

[johnderby]

Hi Dave. So sorry to hear about the sudden death of your father in law. I hope that the funeral goes as well as it can on Monday. I can't imagine how you are feeling at the moment but please be comforted somewhat by the fact that you looked after him so well during his final. As many others have said please do keep coming on here, we are here for you. John

[Hidden in reply to johnderby]

Thank you , my doctor here said if I hadn't been here my stepfather would have been gone when he broke his hip because no one would have found him .

[Walkwalkwalk]

Davey. I am so sorry that you have had such a shock. You have been so careful in your care of your stepfather. I do hope that Monday is not too stressful for you you and that the stars and JackDaniels weave their magic and help you through this difficult time.

My very best wishes

Grace

[Hidden in reply to Walkwalkwalk]

With him not being here the house is empty of sound. But something will change that much I'm sure

[Stratos20]

So sorry to learn of your sad news. You knew it was coming but it’s still a shock. Once Monday is over you can concentrate on being kind to yourself. We’re here for you. Best wishes Diane

[Hidden in reply to Stratos20]

The days are going backwards at the moment but once Monday over yes I can move forward

[dunnellon]

Please accept my condolences in the loss of your stepfather. He was obviously well loved and well cared for by you. You and JD have a long weekend ahead of you. Just don't let Jack take the lead. We're here for you.
