SOS

[diamond47m]

Well not to much has changed, the 40 year friendship is gone but what's changed is my attitude toward it, now I really dont give a shit, I have seen that my life is just fine without her in it. I still am dealing with my husband dying 8 years ago, I miss him like crazy. My son and dad still live with me but dad is on hospice, so literally when he goes it leaves me and my 2 grown kids and that's all other than a brother in law and 2 nephews 600 miles away who we were never close to. My job is gone because as usual I got screwed over, I quit to go into business with a so called friend, put 2500 into the business just to be used so I quit for no reason, can't go back because didn't give 2 weeks notice, have decided not to work till something happens to daddy because he wants me here and I want to spend time with him as long as I can. My golden Dusty and my new golden pup Dixie are the sunshine in my life, they'll never turn their backs on you and all they ask for is love.

Hello diamond47m,

Why are you so hard on yourself? Good for you - removing yourself from someone who you feel is not right to have in your life. You are going to be the main care giver for your Dad- well done as that will be hard. Have you thought about carers allowance at all? Also have you heard about Cruse which is free advise and info to anyone who has been affected by a death. Support and counselling both one to one and in groups.

I have included info below for you if you wish to follow it up.

Please keep in touch with us all on here as we would like to know how you and the family (including your dogs) are doing.

MAS Nurse & Moderator.

Cruse - tel: [phone] - Mon till Friday 9.30 until 5pm, with extended hours Tuesday through Thursday.
