jda Aug 2020 4:29pm, 24 Aug 2020 8,171 posts	0 jda Good timing, thanks for that. My Dad's funeral tomorrow, and it's ok really, he had dementia and while he might have held out a while longer no-one really benefits when that goes on too long. Visiting my Mum for the first time since lockdown and dealing with all the practical/legal stuff that has to be dealt with. My wife is great which helps in all sorts of ways. Fantastic weather today and I'm about to go for a run along the beach. Miss my sister though and that was more than 2y ago.

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Aug 2020 8:37pm, 24 Aug 2020 30,446 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) When you lose someone it takes time to adjust to life without them, I lost 2 brothers to suicide, my Dad died from a heart attack when I was on a day trip to France, he was only 68, my Mum died from lung cancer 10 years ago, sometimes it’s really hard that they are not around.
