sick of hearing bad news

[Oma]

That's all it seems to be at the moment ,
went into our shopping centre this morning for bread and bumped into a friend we haven't seen for a few month ,
She works in Sainsbury's so see her often but she hasn't been in work for a while , we did think she had retired ,

Well turns out her Husband had died in November, he had a cold and lost his voice so after about 3 weeks they went to the Dr and he sent him to hospital for tests ,
Turned out he had advanced lung & throat cancer and it was in his lymph nodes , they could do nothing for him and he died 2 weeks later

To say we got a shock is a understatement we were floored , he was a strong man who didn't smoke and drank very little , they are devoted grandparents who always had the GC at there house
She started to cry and that set me off so we ended up hugging sobbing our eye's out , outside the bakers ,

After we left her we went into the bakers and the girl behind the counter was teary she said she saw us and knew by our faces it was bad news and wanted to cry with us bless her

Roll on 2018 and fingers crossed no more bad news

Sending love and best wishes x

Thanks Zizi , I admit I'm feeling sad , I'm guttered for her it was such a shock to hear ,
Its made me realise how lucky I am B is still with me ,

I have had a few people tell me bad news these past months , I don't know why but this one has really upset me , more for her than anything else but it has hit a cord and a sore spot with me

Its the quickness of it all my BIL's sister gone in 6 weeks and friends husband in 2 !!! So sad

That has been a lot of bad news to take in Oma no wonder you have been feeling shocked and sad.

[Oma]

Thank you ladies I'm fine now , takes a lot to keep me down ,
I think it was just a huge shock to hear considering we saw him a couple of month ago and he was ok then

Make sure you enjoy 2018 ladies as no one knows what is around the corner ,

We did have a lovely phone call this afternoon , Brian's Cousin's became a Grandfather and Grandmother for the first time today , a little girl

So, so sad Oma The penalty of being a caring and compassionate person, as you are, is the pain felt for others.
I am very glad to read the happy news about the new baby however!
Nothing could be truer, we don't know what is around the corner, so let's live as much as we can . Every day.

SO sorry Oma. What a shock.

in light of recent events here, I can only agree whole heartedly with you and we plan to make the most of every moment. Xx

Oma, you have had more than your fair share of bad news this year.
Terrible news about your friend, at least it was quick.

Good news about B's cousin becoming grandparents for the first time.

[Clover]

So sorry Oma.It must have been a shock out of the blue. Poor lady.Good that you’ve got over it a bit but you are a strong lady.x

[Daisy]

What a shock, Oma. Your poor friend must be devastated, but I'm sure it helped just a little to have a dear friend to hug and cry with. xx

[Mimi]

Oma what a shock for you , your poor friend she must be devastated.
You are right, we never know what is around the corner so we should enjoy every single day we get with our loved ones .
