escortedal Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 hello. thought id vent some of the built up pain inside me by sharing my weekend from last week. been nine days now since it started. on saturday last my good friend and former taxi worker of mine was to get married to his girl of ten years, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in february this year, he sadly passed away as the minister was at his hospital bedside conducting the ceremony and never made it to the i do part.this tore me in half when i was informed at seven pm on the saturday night. i had to go home for an hour to get myself sorted out as it really cut me up, he was only 39 yr old. i returned to my taxi work and finished my shift at 3:45 am, as i was parking up the controller told me my mum had been taken to hospital from the care home she was in, (she had suffered a stoke approx three yrs before) i went to the hospital myself and was taken into a side room. my mum had passed away at 2:55 am ...... this really ripped me up inside, it took two days for me to talk without breaking down in tears.. now i have a cremation to attend on wednesday afternoon for iain( love you pal if you can read this where you are). and the hard one of my mum's burial on thursday morning. LOVE YOU TOO MUM.. i am finding it hard to get my head round this as you may understand so i am sharing this with you guys as a way of expressing my feelings and trying to make me understand why this has come about.... thanks and if anyone goes to church can you say a prayer for my mum and for iain too. alan.

EscortNreg Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Ah fella, feel for you you mate! It's good to vent how you feel in anyway you can, I tried venting my feelings when my son had cancer on here, but just got shot down by a certain user, hope it don't happen for you! If you feel it's getting to much mate, most hospitals have a bereavement service on site with on duty counsellors or you could go to the docs and get referred. Trust me, it helps to talk!

JC Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Sorry to hear your bad news, my thoughts are with you Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersport Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 if you need to vent let it out. if you feel the need to scream, yell, shout etc then do it. i lost my mum in november 2003, when i was 20.i kind of pulled further away from the world more than i already had. it's taken a few years for me to come back from it. now i just don'tcare what other people think. feel free to pm me if you need to.
