Coffee shops

MissAdventure I am so sorry for your loss; I hope you are having the support you need; if not in RL, then GN has proved to be a great support to others who have been bereaved.

I mean, compared with the cahins you mention..

What are the prices like, Terri?

MissAdventure, so sorry for your heartbreaking loss

Regarding coffee shops, I used to favour Costa, in fact for a good few years I was a big fan. These days I prefer to patronise individual coffee shops, there are quite a few in my local high street, that wasn't the case when we first moved here. I think it's much better to try and help a local business succeed with everything that's loaded against them. Totnes in Devon won't let any of the multi nationals in, they want to preserve local shops. It's a lovely place with a multitude of great coffee shops far better than the Costas, Cafe Nero and worst of all Starbucks.

MissA - no words..

Thanks, I will. We only really had each other for support.

35 is cruelly young MissAdventure. I hope you have lots of support but, if you don't, talk to us.

Terrible is the right word, KatyK. Its the kind of thing that happens to other people, we think. Even when we're in the middle of it.

MissAdventure How terrible.

Thank you all. I suppose 'saying it' makes it a bit more real. I mistakenly thought I could carrying on pretending if I never said it. So.. well, thanks!

MissAdventure, I'm so sorry to learn about your daughter's death. I hope you have had great support from your family and friends. You will find us supportive as we have been to other bereaved members. (((hugs)))

Yes, it really has been a sad time for a lot of poor souls.

So sorry to hear your terrible news MissAdventure, and I hope you find GN as supportive and helpful as Anniebach and Mawbroon have; this has been a time of terrible sadness for so many on here.

I'm a bit shellshocked that I said it, kitty. My daughter had cancer. She had battled it for years, so I suppose I thought she was invincible. So I suppose it was expected, but so unexpected, at the end. She was only 35.

So sorry MissAdventure. Are you glad you've said it? Was it a sudden death?

Deepest sympathy MissAdventure

Such sad news MissAdventure. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved daughter. Take care of yourself.

MissAdventure I am so sorry to read of your daughter's death

So sorry to hear of your loss Miss A - there is no need to feel sheepish about such a tragic event

Oh thank you all. Again, at a loss, but thanks.

MissAdventure, Thinking of you.

It's good that you feel this is a safe place. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you, greyduster. I don't know what else to say, really. Feel a bit sheepish now.

Oh Lord, MissA. I am so very sorry to hear that !
