Evening all I hope those of you full of cold are feeling a bit better. I remember the days when a cold lasted a couple of days they now seem to go on for a couple of weeks!

Well I've sent my grievance to HR this evening they should pick it up tomorrow morning so will have to see where this now goes.... Sleepyb I took my two to see an England Men's game at Wembley once.

Morning all When I go I love the gym my two favourite classes are spin and body pump and I love weight training too. There's something that I find very satisfying about pushing myself and then have very achy muscles the next day to show for it. Unfortunately, I haven't been for months and can't seem...

Evening All Sleepyb my Dad died 11 years ago and I spiralled out of control too alcohol wise at the time too although I did not really realise that was what caused my downward spiral as it was years until I started to sort it out. Since I have managed a few long stints and in the lead up to my Mum d...

Hey Tadpole thank you for your welcome and I am sorry you have experienced a bereavement too...'its the weirdest thing' sums it up perfectly! I'm having a bit of a work nightmare as well at the moment, bringing a grievance against a bullying boss, union involved very stressful but has to be done as ...

I'm thinking I might join you guys here for a bit if thats ok? Regrouping is exactly what I feel I am trying to do at the moment. I have had a bereavement so I feel that I am regrouping from that and although I have had long periods of not drinking its just starting to creep in out of my control aga...

Hi All
Thank you so much for your messages and sharing. Like many people say once the funeral is over and everyone disappears then the grieving starts. I have to find myself without my Mum now and am dong so without alcohol which is good.

Thanks again all

Hi all , well I am 9 months in and many will remember the problems I had in April with work. I have to say I am struggling to get over things. The two people I had problems with are still on my team and I have anxiety whenever I have to engage with them. Lately I have been having really low mood, p...

Thanks to everyone who replied to me My Mum died last week all happened really quickly in the end and very peacefully with me and my sister holding her hands. She was at home exactly how she wanted. The whole week leading up was very surreal and since she has died I seem to have been caught up in ho...

Thank you all for your support and links really has helped. Mum has a community Matron and Hospice nurse so we do have support. She has just agreed to care three times a day which is a huge relief as she has not been coping at all but been in denial in what she needs Be careful chopping up chicken &...

Hi All Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts it does all help. One of the things that has been very difficult for me and my sister is that my Mum lives on her own and has refused any care and we have been doing our best by her and so have her neighbours but she has deteriorated and is ...

Just thought I would give this thread a bit of a bump as my Mum is at end of life stage and we don't think she will make it to Christmas. My Dad died about 11 years ago and the impact of that was bigger than I could ever imagine I'm not really sure I can manage this properly. On another thread I hav...
