Hi,
My father died at 9.30 this morning ( UK time ).
Despite the fact that his death comes following protracted illness I am somewhat in shock, my feelings are changing from moment to moment as those of you who have lost someone close may have experienced, it's uncomfortable but entirely normal, I know I have a whole grieving process to go through and know enough about that and myself to know that I will both manage and from where I can get support, I got at least that much from the training etc.
I'm certainly not looking for sympathy, I am NOT powerless, but rather some understanding if I dont answer you in the shout box or reply immediately to any other message sent. I may appear online but I may wander off either figuratively or literally.
I will of course be away for a while in the not too distant future for the funerel etc but will let you know here as best I can, in other words I may disappear for a bit but I'm sure to return to my great and loving friends here.
Lastly a HUGE THANK YOU to those of you who have been so supportive over the last weeks, it and you DO mean a lot to me THANK YOU.
All of the above does NOT mean dont shout me up, I may be chatty or not, might even be goofier than normal, just I dont know what to expect so ...
Go Well .. Brian.
