I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR SUPPORT TO GET THROUGH MARCH.

angel1

Wonky told us recently what a bad month February is for her. I truly hope she has got through.....Angel hugs Wonks.

My nemesis is March, amd I could use a little support to get through. I`m not very good at asking, as I`m usually the one giving the support.

It kicks off right away on the 1st, when it`s one year since Amber went to sleep for the last time. She was the most beautiful, cheeky little Yorkie in the world. Full of character and love. I miss her. So much so, that I still can`t think of another one.

All the most important people in my life have been male. My dad, Frank, and my wonderful boys. I lost my dad on the 9th March, many years ago now, but I still miss his down to earth wisdom, and sense of humour. Everybody loved him.

Mother`s Day on the 14th is always made very, very special for me by the boys, but there is a sadness there too.

Our Wedding Anniversary is on the 25th March - we married on my parent`s Silver Wedding Anniversary, so that was always a double celebration.

On the 30th March it is the ninth anniversary of Frank`s death. We truly were two halves of one whole, and whilst I mourn him even more on that day, I also celebrate how very lucky I was to have him, albeit for not long enough.

There is one good anniversary in March though. On 3rd, it will be a year since I joined the Forum, and met some of the kindest people in the world. Thank you all, and thanks to Jean and the rest of the moderators for looking after us so very well.

Ange.

Lots of love

Ange...........I, too, wish I could hug you for real.............getting through a month like that must seem so daunting at the beginning. I think you would suggest to anyone else that they take it day by day...............baby steps, a little at a time.

My daughter could hardly wait for her youngest to start school and she set up a day chart for herself..........this would have been a good idea, but it was two years before the event!

Love
Annie

Hi Ange,

As much support as you need from here as well. I know about bad months and well mine has extended now from the 13h of October to the 20th November and your right is very hard to get through the anniversary bits but we will be here and well sending you a shed load of (((((((( )))))))) and that’s from me and this manky bunch of employers xxxx

Dear Ange

You are always so kind and supportive to everyone on the forum, and I know that many of us turn to you for advice and help because we feel that we can trust and rely on you. I am sure that there will be many people who, like me, would like to offer you our support in return.

It is difficult when you have so much happiness and sadness concentrated into one month. I always feel the same at Christmas, which is a happy time with my family, but sad for me too, because both my parents died at Christmas on two consecutive years.

I hope that the happy memories which you have will carry you through the month.

Best wishes

Joan

Dear Ange

I know just upsetting this next month will be for you.

I'm sending you a basketful of ((((Ange)))).

You are always there for all of us.......giving us advice and in my case a lot more than this.

I like to think of you as a "good friend" as well as giving me advice and to help point me in the right direction.

Although you might come home from work shatterd, you still find the time come on here, looking for anyone who needs some help.

Recently you have tried to point me in the right direction, also asking me to keep in touch to let you know how it is going, Thank You Ange.

Early this month, well at Christmas as well, you tried to help me get through a very sad and difficult time, for that I will always be so grateful.

You have helped and supported others, now you need our support. Lean on us as long as you need to Ange. We will be here for you.

love and more ((((())) for you

Hello Ange

I think we all have a difficult time at some time, some period in our lives. Anniversaries come and go and no matter how long ago that might be for some of us it can still be a sad moment. Even a happy event can makes us have a little weep sometimes. When you lose a loved one, a much loved pet there are always reminders .

I lost my father on the 16th March 1983, long time ago, but it still makes me sad. I still miss my beautiful cat and my intelligent lovely Prince.

In that first year of losing a loved one, you go through a very 'thin' period, The slightest thing will make us sad. Then the next year and thereafter, it gets a little easier, but the sadness is there.

You are a very sensitive, caring person and have been there for everyone. I'd like to give you a big (((((())))) and know you will get through it. ;We always do don't we?

Oh Ange, you are so good at helping us all, I am so very glad that you are going to let us support you in the same way. It is with this support that we can get through so much more than we can on our own.

I am never very good at remembering the good times, but the bad times seem to sit there and wait to catch me at my lowest.

BUt, if we look the good times are always there in our memory ... waiting quietly if we look for them. I know that you have so very many good memories of Amber and Frank, and that those memories will help you through the tough days ahead of you.

I find it hard to believe that you have only been on here a year .... but what a year! We are lucky that you are part of our community, and I am sure that there are lots of people on here who would willingly be there for you.

you know where we are, and you only have to shout. It isn't easy to share the tough times, I know, but it does really help.

lots of Wonky hugs to you (((((((()))))))))

So sorry you have alot of tough anniversaries to get through in March. I'm glad you have felt able to share them with us and allow us to offer what little support we can. You are always so caring and supportive of others, I bless you for that love. I am thinking of you and send hugs ((((( ))))). I hope you can find some small comfort in the happier memories over the next few weeks.

Dear Ange

Aw, March is indeed a very sensitive month for you, Ange and I am sorry. We are blessed to have you with us here on the forum, so willing, when asked, to take the time to help and guide US.

It is reassuring to know that you are here and I for one wish to support you especially through next month. As you say, you are usually the one giving the support to others in your line of work and we tend to forget perhaps that people who spend their life supporting others, do need help themselves every now and again and who do they turn to? We are all here for you Angie and I do hope that this year, the month of March passes a little less painfully for you.

Love
Elna x

Thank you all so very, very much. You`ve really come through for me, as I knew you would.

When things get tough, I usually try to work harder. It really helps me to get everything into perspective, seeing people, often much worse off than me. I`ll still do that, but now I won`t feel so alone...Thank you all again........Much love.......Ange.
