Yes, SANDS/memorial services are just the same, down to the same hymn and the same weird tea-drinking afterwards. But so very important especially for those more recently bereaved. Well done, Sarah, for keeping on with it. I think I’ve stopped now.

It was a bit slow to get going but well worth watching. Makes me want to find out more about that period of South American history, too.

No, I suppose. So what were ‘The motorcycle diaries’ like then? I thought of watching it, but though it looked a little slow.

yes, Ruth, how did you guess? Probably shouldn’t use labels like that really though …

What can I say? I hope you have a restful day on Monday. Is Anna the ‘un-mathsy’ child?

Sounds like you’re doing really well to me Sarah. You’re probably an inspiration to others who appear to be coping less well. I’m like Merry re: that kind of thing, I’d run a mile I’m afraid so I’m extra impressed at you.

I think the hard thing is that this is when I see a conflict between personal stuff and the ‘support group’ facilitator – it’s a toughie. Then again I wouldn’t ever want not to feel it, iyswim.

Are we allowed to hug you yet? It has to be difficult, and being with lots of emotional ppl has its own traumas, regardless of how together you might feel at the best of times.

Stagecoach, hm. Can’t afford it, so just not going to go there.

I think you are very brave, memorial services are horrendous just once, repeated ones would dop me in. I’m not sure i could commune in public with lots of people who felt emotional about anything like that. I never even managed to go to cleft lip support group.

Glad she liked Stagecoach; i’m definitely up for starting to do some youth theatre at camps this year.
