Granny Danger Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 In Sainsburys earlier and picked up a 'Chrishtmas & New Year Food to Order' booklet. A poor imitation of the M&S one to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Maturin Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I respect John's opinion, each to their own, but I have found that the majority of regular posters on here are decent folk and very supportive of others when having a difficult time. As you say Kilbowie it is good to vent at times and certainly I posted about it on a few occasions and some of the guys were great. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 John, think you're a bit out of order man, folk use this place as a vent, its a good thing. I was going to comment the same thing as you tbh. Tynieness is entitled to deal with things his own way, also he has mentioned his fathers illness on here a couple of times before & I'm sure got a lot of encouragement & support. ETA- sorry, posted this before I saw Tynieness reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the hectic time after my Dad died last summer up till the funeral helpful, no time to think much about it till all the jobs were done and the relatives had gone home. Also being able to let loose on here about it, my family would be the last people I'd want to talk to about it. Glad your Dad went fairly peacefully, mine did too in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point. I was just expressing an opinion. I lost my brother in fairly tragic circumstances a few years but I dealt with it privately, albeit with a lot of help and support from close friends and family members. I just happen to believe that's how these matters should be conducted, but if this causes you, or anyone else any offence then please accept my apologies. In the case of my own family bereavement, the last thing I wanted, or needed, was to mention it on this, or on any other social networking site and I do know for a fact my brother would have felt exactly the same about that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no "should be conducted" about it. How you felt is strictly about you, and fair enough. There are no rules about these things. In my case there were disagreements within the family about the care of my Dad so I didn't feel comfortable going into how I felt with them. When I met up with close friends it was an escape from all that was going on and I didn't want it all to be about how I was feeling. Letting go to anonymous strangers on here was a great relief, bit like unloading to a friendly barman in the movies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive spoken a few times on here about my dad passing away, sometimes you want to talk about it without actually talking to someone. Whatever helps you at that moment in time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 My pal phoned me the day after my granny died and let me talk about it. Instantly felt better. I'd rather feel I can share thoughts than shy away tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
