Sadness this morning

23 Replies

I was shocked and very sad this morning to find that Yikes has left the forum. Yikes was a valuable member of this forum, one of the most helpful and sympathetic member i have come to know on the forum. I wish her well in the future and hope she will come back to us when she feels ready to. I will miss you Yikes, your posts, your comments, and your lovely humour.

hi antique77 I haven't been on the forum for a while I was in touch with yikes(Karan) but I have just learnt she has left the forum I have tried to make contact with her but to no avail you don't happen to have an email address for her do you please? I would just like to no if she's ok.

Make it three. Just wish we knew for sure she is doing ok.

Do we know why Yikes has left or have her reasons been kept secret?

Sorry to hear that. I am now on an online support group for people who are caring for loved ones that are terminal. I find it really helps keep me sane and puts life in perspective. Maybe she will return?

Thank you for sharing this news Elisse which I am very sad to hear. Yourself and Yikes are two of the people that have helped me the most. If you are in touch with her please give her my very best wishes. I hope she gets as much care as she has shown to others.

I hope Yikes comes back, but from the pm she left me, and the fact she has left completely, i doubt we will see her again. It has nothing to do with the forum that she left. She has her own reasons.

I had been in touch with her a lot, since my neice died, she was a great support to me, and i just wish i had gotten to tell her my new's, im now the proud mum of my nieces daughter, i have legally adopted her, and i didnt get to tell Yikes before she left, so if anyone has her email addy would you please pass this news on to her for me, im not trying to hijack this thread about her, just so sorry she has left us :(

Yikes removed herself from the forum so I can't send her a message to say goodbye. If anyone is in touch with her privately, please could you wish her well from me and thank her for all she has contributed to the forum. She has been a real asset and I know she will be missed. Thanks

I've been checking thru the posts and just read that Yikes is leaving the forum - does anybody know why? I've really enjoyed talking to her and she's been so helpful.
