Thank you for welcome. Hopefully I will get used to the new layout. Hope I will be able to help others but in reality it is helping others which in the end helps me. Sometimes replying to someone actually clarifies and confirms thoughts you then apply to yourself .

I do seem to be in the doldrums lately , thought I would gave been accepting by now but this year  seems to have been hard. I remember reading in the old forum that the second year is hard and I think I did not believe it, nowi know it is true.

 :hug: :hug: :hug: i think its worse because as much as anything we expect it to be better and then are disapointed that it isnt, and it finally sinks in that this really is forever.

Hi Sue. To ge honest I think part of my doldrums is my health, or should I say  lack if it.

How are you after your  ops?

I am sorry you are not in best of health Jeanette,  afraid I can join you there.  Things just seem to keep going wrong and I find it increasingly difficult to cope alone.  Thank goodness for my friends here who keep me going.  I look forward to talking to you soon  xxx

Hi Jeanette
Glad you got onto the site. OK
 I can only repeat what Karena, Penny and the others have said. I remember when I first came onto BUK last November all the really  helpful and insightful  posts I read by you for others,  before I came on  the site and for me when I arrived.

Jeannette  :hug:  I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to see your name back in these forums once again.

For those who have just joined, Jeannette was my admin on the old board and made over 10,500 posts to the members there while going through a living hell herself for the tragic loss that brought her to BUK a few years ago.

I have had the pleasure of meeting her on one of our meet ups and she is the most caring gentle loving lady you could ever have wished to meet and Iv'e missed her here very much.

Welcome back Jeannette   :heart:

Thank you all for your replies.

I do not feel such a lost soul now. There were so many anniversaries around the last three weeks, and I also attended three funerals during that time, one of them on the anniversary of my husbands funeral, so I think there was a " pile up" of emotions waiting to sand bag me.

I still feel a bit fragile though but much more at peace.

This is what grieving is all about though, On the old site we used to call it a roller coaster, and there were many posts about that these. There was also a theme of heartbreak hotel, and poems were written about that. 

There is a wealth of care and support on this site, and I am glad to feel I am part of it again.

Jeannette
