A colleague and good friend has epilepsy amongst other things, when he had his jab he was advised that it may interfere with his epilepsy meds, it did, he had hallucinations for a couple of days and felt very unwell. Thankfully he is better now but a worrying time.

How are you doing @Lullabelle?

Doing ok thanks, most relaxed I have felt for a long time, how are you?

My sister is classed as vulnerable due to her health issues so she had her jab last Friday.

Today we went to dad's flat, my sister, her husband and their eldest son were there, we finished off emptying and cleaning then handed over the keys.
A sad day.
Once the country is back open again we are looking at having a party to celebrate dad and our brother, see family and friends again.

I didn't know you worked with Piers Corbyn.

No idea who he is to be honest.

We work with people who claim they will not have the vaccine because it is the government's way of controlling the population (?) I understand people who are concerned about the speed at which the vaccines have been rolled out when normally it can take years but I can't help thinking the clever bods...

Yeah. I want to find the right words. There are no right words. But know that we care, and we want the best for you. Go for long walks, swim laps (if that's an option), do weight lifting, cycle, run, mindfulness mediation. Anything might help you escape from dark thought patterns and give yourself ...

Sorry for your loss.

FWIW we lost my mum last January, its been a tricky year for all sorts of reasons but the anniversary of her death last week, felt a little like a new start. So hold on in there.

Sorry Greg xx

Dad's funeral was yesterday, it went as well as could be expected, only half an hour, masks to be worn at all times, no wake.
All the stress and worry of the last couple of years has gone and left me feeling shattered. Dad and my brother are both at peace and no longer suffering.

How are you doing today, @Lullabelle?

Not too bad thanks, went to dad's flat this morning to collect paperwork and secure his valuables, made the relevant phone calls, so now we wait. Running on hyper at the moment, finding it hard to relax.

I said I wasn't going to have a drink this month, however I am aware of the small bottle of red wine we have upstairs.

Well, I wish you a good night's sleep.

I am thinking of the night my dad died. I was on a plane when he passed. I still miss him.

Yeah, just want you to know I care. It's so hard to bear.

My brother last July, now my dad. The 2 most important men in my life when I was growing up.

Thank you for sharing that. I am so sorry.

Is there anything you need?

A good nights sleep would be good, been quite restless lately.

Thank you x

My dad passed this morning

Yep. I’ve been drinking too much recently as well, as has Jon. My dad is very poorly in hospital, treatment has been stopped and he is now receiving palliative care, when they call we can decide on the next course of action. I could quite happily drink away this afternoon but it wouldn't achieve an...
