Am Not Coping

Yes @Zoe7 , I know its a tough time for you, and no doubt many others who have also formed close connections with @Former-Member during her time with Sane. We all form bonds with those special people who come into our lives during a time of need. Clearly Rockpool has been one of those very special people for you. Just as you @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 have been for me. I would miss all of you guys (and a number of others here) a great deal if you were to leave and suddenly not be around here any more. Yes Sane are losing a gem in Rockpool. But there will be others who pick up from her, and they will be the support to other members here in their moment of need. Just as Rockpool has been for you.

Lovely @Former-Member 💜💐💕

Yes there will be others here for those that need it @Former-Member but the structure of here has changed significantly over the last year and maybe those close bonds we formed earlier are a bit more prominent becsuse of how the forums worked then. There is definitely not the same level of interactions now with mods - the forum has grown so much though and that has meant changes have had to occur also.

It is so lovely of you to acknowledge how much help we have been to you - you have also returned that support in spades Hon. Even when you feel you are sitting in the background a bit those supports are just as important. We learn off each other and do what we can to support each other and you are such an integral part of the network here - so lucky to have you here Hon.

Beautiful pretties @Zoe7, thank you ..... ❤️🦋

hi @Zoe7and @Faith-and-Hope sorry for your loss. It's a great strength of character that you have the capacity to form such trusting and warm attachments to people providing therapeutic support (it's actually something I'm not able to do).

You will always have the strengths that Rockpool has instilled in you and the memories - I believe these things become a part of us and influence who we are on a spiritual level. I know it is hard to lose someone you love but I do believe the experience with them becomes a part of us that we carry within us.

Maybe the strengths Rockpool gave you will even help you to trust someone new irl one day in the future @Zoe7 , I know that's probably cold comfort right now but you never know what will happen & there are lots of cool people out there. I also think it's important to remember people from your past and celebrate them, I have made a new friend recently who reminds me of my dad. It's not my dad of course but there is some connection there

thinking of you both today. I am off to training for my volunteer position so need to hold my tongue & temper, will let you know how I go.

Did you manage to get to the post office @Faith-and-Hope ?

@Former-Member .... @Zoe7 said it so much better than me ^^^ ...., you are a real gem of support and kindness when you are suffering so much yourself. Bless you ❣️

Thank you @BryanaCamp 🙏 .....

Its actually losing my home progressively in the west that is underpinning how I am feeling today ..... but other things such as Rockpool moving on are layering in. I hit a speed bump every.now and then, and this week is it ..... @Zoe7 picks it up even if I don’t say anything.....

Thank you for you wise words @BryanaCamp ...and I agree that we take forward with us some of that which we see in others and the influence those positive attributes have had on us. It is also a comfort having the support here at the moment

Goodluck with your training today - keep your cool and try to enjoy the experience.

Thanks so much for your kind words @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope

Made me all teary ....... 😢 ... but in a nice way .... 🌺

Sorry I've not been around much the past couple of days. Hubby been increasingly more ill and trying to organise something with the city hospital after a referral from his GP to see the neurologist and have necessary investigative tests. Looks like he will need to be admitted to the city hospital in a week or two. They will let us know when a bed is available. In the meantime I've been told to get him to the local hospital if he gets any worse, or lapses into a coma. Ahh yeah well .. I think I would do that anyway. So may apologies for my absence, just been a bit preoccupied recently. At least its looking like we wont have to wait the possibly 3 months that the other neuro warned us could be the case. Things are finally happening .. hopefully some answers and solutions soon.
