Dear Subs,    Thank you so much for your reply. You are absolutely right there is no one advice that fits all! However I appreciate any information, knowledge and experience out there.   I realise my journey is indeed that! My journey!    Thank you for the link, I have not looked at it yet but will do so soon!   Kind regards 

Thank you for your reply Winb143!    I realise more and more that one advise does indeed not fit all!  However I appreciate you sharing your experience and information, as much can still be learned from one another. All the best wishes for your continued recovery!    kind regards  

Dearest Gem,   it it is with such a heavy heart that I've read of your losses - first the tripping from SAH and then the final blow from this dread virus.  Your poor dad an innocent victim unable to shield himself. There are just not enough words in my vocabulary to tell you how sorry I am.     I so so hope you find solace in the poem Daff has shared and in good memories. I pray you will find comfort and that we all will move past these terrible times we are in.   again my condolences to you and your family.   With love, Colleen

Gem,  so sorry for the loss of your dad, my heart goes out to you and your family at this very sad & difficult time.   We will always be here for you if you need us at anytime. Sending you love & hugs Love Michelle xx 

Gem, I’m so sorry and hopefully you will be able to start that grieving process but this strange time is changing normals for everyone.    Do find quiet time to sit and sit and reflect on happier times with Dad. Let the tears flow but look up and what Spring is offering. Love lives on I think.    A poem i find comforting in times of loss   When I have moved beyond you in the adventure of life, Gather in some pleasant place and there remember me With spoken words, old and new. Let a tear if you will, but let a smile come quickly For I have loved the laughter of life. Do not linger too long with your solemnities. Go eat and talk, and when you can; Follow a woodland trail, climb a high mountain, Walk along the wild seashore, Chew the thoughts of some book Which challenges your soul. Use your hands some bright day To make a thing of beauty Or to lift someone’s heavy load. Though you mention not my name, Though no thought of me crosses your mind, I shall be with you, For these have been the realities of my life for me. And when you face some crisis with anguish. When you walk alone with courage, When you choose your path of right, I shall be very close to you. I have followed the valleys, I have climbed the heights of life. By  Arnold Crompton
