Oh dear, life does seem so unfair, your own health has suffered as well, you seem such a lovely lady, I hope with the help of your family and friends you make a good recovery, and a new puppy to bring you all some much needed joy. Wishing you better soon, from a wet and windy Essex. Soon be Spring, we have had a little taste of it. Take care. Hugs G xx
Hi Rosebaywillowherb nice to see you back.
My heart goes out to you and your family over your loss.It may not feel like it right now but things will get better.
I am also very sorry that you have suffered bad health.I am not surprised .A shock and upset such as yours was bound to have an effect on you .I hope you soon recover,and sounds like you are being well cared for.
Getting a puppy was a good idea,a busy little bundle of fun needing love and attention will make the children smile ,and on occassion be a welcome distraction from what is really happening all around them.That is not to say they will not think of their dad, but the puppy will give them something else to focus on.
Take care all of you and I hope you recover your strength soon and make a full recovery.

So sorry for your loss. Hugs to you.
PS great to hear of the joyful puppy 
Hi RoseBay - I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your wonderful son. There are no words that will make it better, but maybe knowing that others are sending their love and good thoughts to you will help a little.
My sister lost her husband last year about this time, and she lost both of her dogs within three months too, but she got a new puppy. That has helped her to have something else to focus on and has given her a fair amount of distraction and relief.
It's good that you are not out. All of us get down, but how we handle it is critical..
luv n hug from wet windy freeezing Co. Down Theothers havesaid it all 4me xx
You're sounding so brave, you must be enduring the most indescribable sadness. I hope your pneumonia improves quickly and send warmest wishes to you and your family.
I lost my brother with a brain Hemorrhage many years ago he was 38. The apple of my mother's eye....There will be the questions why, and no reasons to truly understand, but the love given and felt never ever goes away...My brother was an amazing organist, introduced me to classical music. Never a day passes you know even after all these years without Pete coming back to me in my thoughts. Especially when I play the piano and I am struggling, I just say "Help me out Pete" and believe it or not I start to play much better.
I do hope that you are on the road to recovery, take just one day at a time. As for the pup, my husband and I rescued a setter in France, he was homeless, so thin, scraggy, covered in ticks and for ever hungry. He found the courage to creep up to us closer everyday, and he ate just everything, and what he couldn't eat he would dig a hole down the lane and bury it for another meal another day. My daughter now lives in France and is part of their family. Beautiful, Beautiful dog, we named him Mr. Bonjour.....he often comes back to England for a visit and has never forgotten Michael and I. Animals understand other people's pain and can give great solace to people in need.
My regards to your family XXXXXX
So very sorry about your son Rosebay. My son died unexpectedly 6 years ago. You won't get over it but you will learn to live with it. Sending peace and wishes for better health for you across the pond.
Hope you are feeling much better soon. It's very understandable that physically after such a dreadful shock and bereavement your own health will take a bad turn.
Be kind to yourself. Chewy sounds gorgeous!
Take care
