All your friends here are hugging you and standing by your side invisibly. We all love you, but I know you can feel that from just a few to many, many miles away. Try to imagine all of us surrounding you and being with you every moment. We won't crowd out Luvbug :) But we're all there with you too. Much love, dear heart. xLeeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534240126700714461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-76347852625699909222011-12-10T22:30:37.801+00:002011-12-10T22:30:37.801+00:00So many wise words from os many lovely friends her...So many wise words from os many lovely friends here Helena :-) I agree with everything that's been said . If you do go definitely take the headphones and enjoy your own little bit of space with Dilly and Bob. None of your family deserve you. You are a very special lady and have so much love to give. Thank goodness for your lovely Luvbug. <br />Big hugs and lots of love xxxxxJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-56502638107622225602011-12-10T21:32:54.786+00:002011-12-10T21:32:54.786+00:00A huge hug from me. xxxA huge hug from me. xxxBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946934087212528017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-60300369547074909812011-12-10T11:59:01.107+00:002011-12-10T11:59:01.107+00:00This sounds so familiar.

But I was 45 before I understood that. <br /><br />It's hard - but don't waste another minute doing what they want. They will be on your case whatever you do - so do what YOU need. Take care.

He will make sure your mum is fine, Helena you are NOT WELL, and you do not need all this added pressure, it's too much (hugs).<br /><br />And for the record, in the past few years you have made LOTS of friends, all of whom care tons and tons about you. You know this is a cycle, and it will pass again in it's own good time, but for now, dearest Helena, whilst you are riding it through, no one should expect you to deal all these outside demands. I'm thinking of you and sending you as many warm, loving vibes I possibly can (((x))).Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-82090775818749673402011-12-10T09:41:46.839+00:002011-12-10T09:41:46.839+00:00typing with one hand, cat one arm style....wish no...typing with one hand, cat one arm style....wish no one was nagging, pressuring you and making you feel gui;ty....if i were you....i would keep my walkman plugged into my ears during the service and keep my eyes closed! heck you can even sing out loud that will really show them. i am so sorry you are so put upon by so many. you will be in my thoughts <br />love karlaMISS PEACH ~(^.^)~https://www.blogger.com/profile/09477572706387339613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-82775254761789188052011-12-10T08:43:28.361+00:002011-12-10T08:43:28.361+00:00Oh Helena - as Angel and Kirby wrote, this is a re...Oh Helena - as Angel and Kirby wrote, this is a real cry for help, love and support. In all of this Luvbug is your rock - with Scooter providing furry purrs. The point about being able to divorce your family at some point was also a good one. We pick our friends but not our families remember. <br /><br />44 and fabulous is such a lovely description of you - we all care and cry with you when the going is tough and rejoice when the news is good. <br /><br />Probably you'll be on the way by now but if the wedding is going to be too much then don't go. Your wonderful hubby would cope - and who knows, he might punch a couple of noses in the process!<br /><br />Love, Di xxxxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-45129859379658523022011-12-10T06:04:20.783+00:002011-12-10T06:04:20.783+00:00You`ve done a lot of good, that is obvious.

Recognize when you have to take care of YOU, so that you will be there to continue taking care of your mum. Choose not to worry about what people will say or do. You`re 44 and fabulous, and that means you get to decide what you do. And, if you don`t feel you can handle the wedding, then don`t. Most weddings suck... yech! Give Bob a hug for me.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436539725605367511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-45318753656536259592011-12-10T05:23:58.289+00:002011-12-10T05:23:58.289+00:00Helena, I hear your plea for help, support and lov...Helena, I hear your plea for help, support and love from your family. You give them every thing and they give you nothing. Thank heavens you have Lovebug! He is there for you. I know this is harsh, but when your Mom is gone, you can divorce your family! Take care of your self. I know cutting seems to quite the noise, but it is just another aspect of the trauma caused by depression and bad child hoodAngel, Kirby and Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142914249981749713noreply@blogger.com
