Nothing more I can say, other than we care.

Well, it "smacked me upside the head"... *sigh* bad day today.

Just take it one step at a time. Don't let anyone push you -- including
yourself.

Poor sweetie. I hope you feel better the next day.

Thanks everyone. It helps to know you all care. Spent a chunk of time on the
phone this pm/evening arranging stuff - we'll be scattering the ashes here
instead of London which means a short trip instead of potentially 10+hrs on
a coach which would literally cripple me. Please send thoughts/prayers on
Monday... I hope it will be a loving, peaceful event and not too upsetting.

Thank you to everone who replied here/via email, we appreciate it. Dug
didn't want to talk much at first and I was concerned about how he was
coping, but we are starting to talk a little about coping which is helping
to put my mind at ease.

One thing I have learnt about grief... Just being there when needed.
Whether that is immediately or a little further down the track. Some say
it can take up to 10 years... I think when my father died it took me
something like this to get over it, although I grieved right from the time
he died (it was a huge shock - I am 2nd to oldest and I was only 20 - my
youngest brother was 11).

Hugs Helen and Dug,

Mavis

Dug told me today he needs me to be strong for him. It's hard right now, but
it helps me to know what he needs, what I can do to help.

Hugs Helen and Dug,

Thanks Mavis.

As a heads up here, we grieve longer if there are unresolved issues. So do
what you need to do to come to resolution, especially with family members,
who do not disappear from your lives even if you don't see them.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Helen (((((((hugs)))))))
My condolences to you and your family.

Different Helen. This one's Helen Crawford -- 5 1/2 kids. The
other's Helen Page -- no kids, lives in the UK.

Thanks, Sooz. I have missed them both.

Awww! I was missed? I took a break for a few days - Dug's dad died
suddenly
and unexpectedly on Thursday. We've obviously been all over the place
emotionally and, I dunno, I feel kinda disconnected from "regular life" at
the mo. So much unfamiliar stuff to handle, arrangements to make, etc.
Feeling kinda weird... :S
