I liked that Abi, I don’t always get chance to read every comment but I do contribute when I can. It does feel like a family with all the ups and downs. Everyone is so strong and have had a much harder time than me. I come on to talk with people who hate the shit show of this “normal” society when it clearly is anything but “normal”. Clot shot can at local garden centre today! I had to walk away from a woman asking if people were up to date with their jabs! Wtf LEAVE US ALONE! 😵‍💫

Roz, I drove to the coast today so my greyhound could run on the sandy beach. Also as a bit of mental therapy for me. On the way I saw a new Covid jab centre. WTF, as if there is not enough information out there for people to run a mile from this ☠️

It should be built around Westminster.

A year later and we are still fighting. A poem I wrote for my Dad last year (the day I was sacked).

I’d just like to apologise to everyone for my woe is me posts.

I’ll be okay.... I always am.

I’m especially sorry to you Abi, you’ve got enough on your plate with your own grief.

I did ring the Samaritans, the lady was lovely. I just needed to release it all.

My eyelids are swollen from crying and I’m just feeling sorry for myself as usual.

Thanks everyone for being so kind and non judgemental. I appreciate you all

Abi, I've been listening to your podcasts for a short while. I listened to something the other day and, after some thought, realised we're living in Plato's Cave. I think we're waking on different levels, if that makes sense? I first came across you on 'Plank of the Week', and remember you renaming the NHS, the National Death Service. I am putting trust in my body to deal with what comes my way. Way too much intervention and interference. Really enjoying your podcasts.

Just catching up here after seeing a cousin for the first time from Germany after nearly 20 years. Reading the posts from darling Jan, Trudy, Stu, the Jules, Roz. You all may feel unremarkable but you are doing the most remarkable things. Exceptional human spirits. And Abi I think your doctor may be for turning after all. 💞💞💞

That was a good woman.

Trusting anyone is fucking hard, especially after what you've been through.

You might not be able to see him, but he'll always be with you. I'm having a JD and coke in his honour.

Nobody can take that love away. Ever. X

Oh sweetheart, you have nothing to be sorry for. You're grieving. X

It might help to talk to a person down the phone at the Samaritans? You can talk about anything without judgement. X

Here's the number, if you need it: 116 123

Love you: I try and be a decent human and gets me nowhere. I hate feeling like this: I can’t apologise enough, I’m being selfish: I try so fucking hard and for what? I just want Benjamin

Don't let your friend's stuff drag you down.

Darling Trudi, I'm not certain of much, but I know you are one of the very, very best members of this crazy little substack family - you and Benjamin are truly treasured here.

This is the place to vent, rage and cry - we love you and hear you.

XXXXXXXXX

Xx

Trudi we have obviously never met but having read many of your comments it is obvious to me that your a good person with compassion and empathy , I want to say a personal thankyou Trudi for knowing that there are genuine people out there who acctually care means a lot to me.. ❤

Thanks Stuart, I do care about you all, I’m just not coping which is selfish. I just don’t know how much longer I can go on. I feel so alone. I don’t want to feel this way but I do and I hate myself for it . Im so sorry

Expand full comment

Trudi you are anything but selfish. I'm sorry you are feeling so low. You have been to hell and back. I cannot say truly that I know how you feel because I haven't lost any of my sons, but please do not be so hard on yourself. As Stu said, I do not know you, but you always support everyone on here and I feel you are a genuine lovely lady who has been dealt a truly shit card. Please give yourself time to grieve.

I watched a programme about a medium and he said that our loved ones who have passed are always with us and when we talk to them, they hear us. I dont know if you believe in an afterlife, but I definitely do and I think it might give you comfort to talk to him about how you feel. I don't mean to be patronising btw, just for you to find a path through this extremely difficult period in your life.

We are all here for you Trudi and we're putting our arms around you right now. Yes, you're feeling down and out, we totally understand that, but you will get through this Trudi, I really believe that. Lots of love to you xx

Dear Trudi, I've seen the caring and wonderful comments you leave on here for other people and your empathy and goodness shine through. You have had to bear the worst loss imaginable so don't beat yourself up about feeling so low. You are entitled to rage and cry and whatever else you need to do to help your anguish and grief. Much love and hugs to you. xx
