Thank you for your email I feel I know you a lot more now. I will tell you about me and my life.
I am married to Keith and we lost both our daughters Rachel when she was 15 in May 1996 our world fell apart my other daughter Clare gave birth to a little girl 6 days after Rachel's death.Then 6 months after Clare got ill then My husband had a massive heart attack so he had a triple heart bypass he has got lung problems diabetes and compression in his spine. the doctors have said the stress has had a knock on effect so I have to care for him all the time.
Me and Clare leant on each other she was my daughter my best friend, Then Clare died suddenly in 2002 Her little girl was 6, I have Bethany she is my legacy I don't have anymore Children.When Beth is at school I don't know what to do.
So I now do rest byte for disabled children they come to stay with me at weekends then there parents can get a much needed break.through the week I am doing voluntary work for the British heart foundation I have to be on the go all the time if I stop I think. people say how do you do it I don't have any choice you just cannot make people understand if they have not been through what we have.
Grief to me is like a terminal illness people say time heals I think it gets harder. Just now xmas is so hard when I go shopping what can I buy my daughters flowers I come back home in tears.
My granddaughter misses her mummy so much she is having coucilling but she is so sad she tells me her body inside is broken into little pieces I got her to go see Santa when he asked her what she wanted she told him she just wants her mummy back from heaven. So that is me....... this site has now become my life line
God Bless
