Well, I'm sure I won't be the only to look forward to the end of this year and all the pain and sorrows we have all shared, so please pop in and have your say , let the pent up anger and emotions free, then we can start again with a New Year.

Love and support and always

Thank you. First Christmas/new year without both of my parents. Absolutely horrible empty feeling. Hoping 2021 eventually sees a return to more like passes as normality

Hello Bigneil1 I feel for you and all those who have lost loved ones this past year and beyond. Horrible and empty sums up our feelings, stay with us {{{hugs}}}

I hope that next year will end our uncertainties, pain and tears and that we will receive the upliftment we need so badly <3

I hope you all find ways to enjoy yourselves as well.

Back soon.

You're starting early Greyone :-)

Enjoy your treats, you deserve them.

Someone just said to me Spring is around the corner and that made me smile, certainly something to eagerly look forward too.

Happy New Year @Greyone and thank you for all your support, I so appreciate you!

That's so lovely Greyone

I would like to say something rude about the disappearance of 2020 but I feel it's good riddance myself!

However good things have come out of 2020 for me like learning new skills like driving and cooking and learning valuable lessons of being more thankful for things and never taking anything for granted again.

I admit I was quite angry back in September over the cancelled autumn plans and that insensitive this morning program claiming Christmas supposedly was cancelled and I was ever so upset but now I'm glad I was as it gave me some kind of idea of what to expect so I never made any plans and was right to not to have done so either!

When this first became official back in March I admit I was angry over usual things being cancelled especially at the last minute as that hurts worse than having advance notice that something is cancelled when you have time to find something else to replace the cancelled event.

I wasn't totally ignorant about the virus but still when it was official it was a shock hearing whispers about cancelled exams and schools shutting down and I had thought it was made up at first as it sounded like something off a horror movie but no it wasn't!

That panic buying fiasco back in March was stupid and unnecessary.

I don’t feel happy at all, 2021 will be the first full year since 1981 that I haven’t been with my amazing husband. I cried all night & deleted all the Happy New Year texts....especially the “ let it be a new start for you” ones...thoughtless so called friends who have a husband or wife still or who’s family are able to be their support bubble. This is sheer purgatory.....

Hello KT22 I’m so sorry that you’re going through such anguish, you’re clearly suffering.

Please speak with your Doctor and let them know just how you are feeling, I feel you are in need of extra support <3

Try not to shut friends/ people out, they are not trying to be hurtful but are hoping you will see a way forward this coming year.

Sending love

Chloe

I’m already seeing my doctor regularly & on medications. Don’t assume things please. I’m not only going through bereavement but a lengthy negligence case again the oncologist.
