Another vote for Cruse here. Bill Cruse was a teacher at West Bromwich Grammar School in the 1950s and 60s cos he taught my sister there and he struggled A Lot after his wife died, so started Cruse (hence the name anyway) to try and help others, and always has.
 
Sending hugs and my love to you Mike, so tragic and hope you get the support you need and deserve.
 
think the registrar was a bit amused at the end when i send that my partner will be able to get picked up now for rest. must of thought we were going to get a taxi 🙄

many thanks notworried and new-journey. these message of condolence mean so much esp when i am on my own and are giving me so much strength.

sending lots of hugs rebrescora
 
Big {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to you
 
i like the picture of the owl. when my dad passed away i was in the back garden was a bit down and be dammed saw what i thought was a little owl walking around.

every morning i do hear the hooting sound of an owl and more weird i was out recently and be dammed the sound of an owl 🙄 that was when my partner passed on so weird.
 
Dear, dear @mikeydt1 I am so very sorry to read your sad news and hear the pain in your words. As you said Tee wouldn’t want you like this so do one thing for Tee and that is look after you x
 
i promise Annemarie that i will do my best. getting help now and was just made a lovely Sunday dinner so not used to that and feel like i am going to explode (pop)

shows that when it comes down to things there are still lovely caring people esp on here to which i will be forever grateful.
 
So so sorry to hear of your loss @Davein - and particularly the upsetting circumstances at the end.

Sincere condolences to you and your family

Hope the Cruse counselling comes through for you. I have had 6 weeks of counselling with them, which was very helpful.

Shame about the waiting lists, but I think they are quite stretched at the moment :(
 
had a nice touching condolence card from the hospital that then started the grief process as basically over the last week just been so busy stopped it.

my partner was supported right up to the end.
 
It was to be expected that the grief would hit you eventually. So kind of the hospital staff to send a card but understandable that it would trigger an emotional response as they were your last connection to Tee. Keeping busy helps but there is only so long that you those feelings can be held back and sooner or later they hit you like a ton of bricks. I hope you are able to get access to the Cruse service again but we are here to support you in any way we can. Perhaps you might like to tell us a bit about Tee...
 
i used to work in a large hospital and sometimes it makes you wonder how nurses deal with such things, i was bound over due to the job i was doing but that was the breaking of me. got to have great admiration for what they do.

the lady who is helping has just lost her sister so for her to be helping is something beyond duty.

in just over a week i have an arranged listening call from my own doctors which is kind of them.

i was on FB yesterday and after 30 years i have found my lost niece just waiting to see if the account is still used.
 
my loving partner is now in rest which is a relief till the big day tomorrow. the grief has certainly started after i got a phone call from the director this morning had a good chat but was in tears at the end.

((((((HUG))))))
Just be how you need to be right now.
 
You know it is natural and part of the process so don't try to suppress it. Tomorrow will be difficult, especially with all the restrictions. I honestly do not know how people are coping without a hug from loved ones. It is beyond cruel. Will be thinking of you and hoping it all goes smoothly and you draw courage and support from family and friends in whatever way is possible.
Also sending more virtual ((((hugs))))
 
yep rebrascora things are not so good out there and we are now seeing some of the devastation on here as well.

as you say the worst part is not been able to hug your loved ones that is

just been speaking with the council as it was joint tenancy and they are going through the process to sole tenancy and also after having a good chat they are going to try and sign post me because of depression background.
 
I am glad that the people you have been in contact with through all this have been so good Mikey.
Tears are there for a reason. Let them flow when they come.
 
what a fantastic funeral care package we have as they carry out a welfare check just got a call today and they are phoning in a few days after the service to make sure i am okay.

tears def flowed this morning and yesterday need to as i have not really been allowed that grieving process until now.
