My daughter died ten days ago

Alie I haven't posted on this thread for a while but it's not because I've forgotten you. Every time I open the 'active' link I see this and think of you - every day. I have been reading the posts on here regularly and feel so impotent. I felt so sad to read how your daughter would have been loving this weather. She should be sitting out in the sun, with her baby. Life is so unfair. (((((hugs))))) for you, and wishes that at least all the practical issues can be resolved as soon as possible.

Alie, you need to enjoy the sun for her. I hope you have got over your cold and that you have at last got your new wheels.

I'm not good with words but I'm also thinking of you Alie

Every day you are going to be feeling your daughter should be here, enjoying life. That is the heartbreak.
However, you must go on, there are grandchildren who need you,, and also your daughter's partner and you can support each other as only you have the memories of happier times with her.

She ought Alie - you are right. You are bound to feel that. How sad for you all. Stay strong. Thinking of you.

She ought to be here enjoying the sun

(((Hugs)))

Yes weather is great but a bit hot for me to be out.

I am feeling so sorry that my daughter - who loved the heat and couldn't sit out last year because she was pregnant - is missing this weather, she was looking forward to summer..........

Can you sit and rest in the garden today Alie? - that is if you have the lovely weather we have here.

One day at a time.

I hope you have a reasonable day Allieoxon

I think your body may be telling you you need to rest up Alie - perhaps the lack of car isn't altogether a bad thing although understandably frustrating. Don't start rushing around again too soon.
Take care. xx

NFK and kitty are right - so many people are thinking of you.

Me too x

Definitely so kittylester
You're uppermost in my thoughts Alie, just wish I could be of practical help too x

As NFK says, I'm sure there are lots of us thinking about you but don't know what to say. And, as marelli says, I look for new posts but don't always post as I can't imagine what you are going through and what to say to help things. But please take it as read that lots of us think about you and are sending you healing and strengthening thoughts! (((hugs)))

I was contacted by an IBD nurse Alea, yes.

I sometimes have successful days Nfk....not this one I think, as I still have the sore throat and temp. Not getting up at the moment. A sticky night.

Thinking about family. There are too many rifts here, but not putting that in public. Things were together for the funeral, but not now.
I need to get to see K, but don't see me getting the car today.

I read your thread whenever there's a new post on it, to see how you're doing, Alie. How is your DD's family coping at the moment? Are you able to have much contact? xx

In the mornings when I post on Mick's Good Morning thread I used to wish everyone a happy day, but now I think of you and everyone else going through bad times and instead wish a successful day. A day achieved.

I know there are many of us who think of you regularly and try to send strengthening vibes - but don't post either because our feelings have already been said or inability to put things into words. But we are here.

All I can say is keep on posting. I read this thread regularly to see how you are getting on.

My DH rings the IBD nurse at the department who deal with his UC. do you have one of those?

It's a bit more than an ordinary advice line, works with docs and GPs on specialist bowel treatment.

Not having it. But rather hoping I won't be recommended any new meds!

Oh dear, Alie you don't need this right now. I find it hard to believe an advice line could do more than give generalised advice, but give the steroids a day or 2 to work on your UC and I am sure things will improve. However, as stress can be a major factor in flare-ups, you are in a difficult situation.

A fright yesterday shot my stress level skyhigh - I phoned the colitis advice line and wished I hadn't when they left one saying they wanted me to have another sigmoidoscopy!
I left a message saying NO! and Have just received a phone call reassuring me that I don't have to....whew. Simmer down, here.

Very bad previous experience...

Take care A lie (((hugs)))
