GrannyJilly - so sad for you all. Take one moment at a time and do not expect too much of yourself. Rest if you are tired and accept all the help offered by family and friends. flowers

My heart goes out to you. Can’t imagine how you feel. So sorry, grannyTillyT.

What a terrible thing to happen to you,there are no words that will help at the moment,just take it a day..or an hour at a time until you feel able to face it all.Let your family gather round you and help all they can and dont feel you have to stay strong,lean on others when you need to.Take care and be kind to yourself .

So very sorry to read your sad news grannyjillyt, please accept all the comfort you can from family & friends, it feels of little help when you are at rock bottom, but you will need them there , even if only for the practical reasons, let them do what they can .my sincere sympathy to you.

I am so sorry to hear your very sad and heartbreaking news.
I cannot begin imagine how you are feeling, or find suitable words of comfort, but there are many here on GN, who have experienced such terrible sorrow and be assured, we are all here to support you.

My DH died on Christmas eve. Forgive me for writing this down but I feel I'm going to burst. We were going to his daughters funeral, but he had a mini stroke they think, the next day he had a brainstem infarction rendering him with locked in syndrome. He knew what was going on but could only move his eyes. He then died on Sunday morning. I feel I'm living in a bad dream. I have a loving family and friends, and as for the Hotels I stayed in and the Hospital, people went above and beyond. But I'm feeling so alone.
