Sharing your sadness.

Have just phoned my friends daughter and her mum died on tuesday,
God saw that you were getting weary
The hill too steep to climb
He put his arms around you
And whispered peace be thine

Thinking of Dutch and Marion. As you know Dutch my daughter just lost her friend, and so I see how very upset she is. But after so many years of being there for each other, you must have felt like sisters.

Dutch and Marion, am thinking about you both, it's so hard to lose old friends, especially when you are so far from them, but I am sure both of them knew how special the friendship was and that you will have happy memories of times spent together.

I was lucky in 2008 to have been able to spend time with my friend when she was in the hospice, and to have the chance to say thank you for the times she had been there for me and for the fun times we had.
I still miss knowing she was at the end of the phone.

Marion i know how you feel my friend is in England and im in Holland ,but my friend was,nt expected to last thru the night and i dont want to ring incase she did,nt make it ,so will ring tomorrow
Dutch

Thanks for your support Dutch.
The worst part is being so far away. She was in England & I´m in Spain.
Had hoped to get over there in the spring, but finances are very tight .
She & her husband & I all grew up together.Like you I have been reluctant to phone.
Hope you get to speak to your friend.

Hi Dutch.
I can empathise with you.
My friend of over 50 years died on Monday.
She was diagnosedd with cancer in November & given 5-12 months to live.
It was 5 months exactly.
After all these years, it´s like losing a sister.
