The End of the World

[bluefirebird]

You see it all the time on the TV - how people react when their loved ones die.

Well, I can't take it in. It doesn't seem real. No, not my Dad (who I assume is still safely in the hospital), my other half's son-in-law rang me to say that Pete (my other half) appears to have died in his sleep on Tuesday night.

Now what do I do?

My whole world has fallen apart.

I'm numb, my heart rate has gone bananas. I'm not sure I even believe it, but Gary wouldn't play a cruel joke like that - in fact he's got the horrendous job of breaking it to all of Pete's nearest and dearest.

And I can't get hold of any of our friends on the phone either (although I guess half of that is because my body isn't working properly right now and I can't type properly!). I need to drive over there, but I have enough sense to know I'm in no fit state to drive at the moment.


And don't worry about it, I know that you don't know what to say, I wouldn't if I was reading it about someone else, and I sure as hell don't know what to say now that it's happening to me...

You have my very deepest sympathies.

There is a song with a line, "As long as you tell my story then I will never die". At a time like this, it's so hard to- well, anything. But perhaps you can derive a little comfort from the thought that as long as you remember Pete, he is always with you in your heart.

Please please don't drive. Call a friend or a taxi, or ask a neighbor you're friends with.

Also, there are always people here online if you need someone to talk to, to listen while you cry or vent at the injustice of losing your other half. If it were possible, I would give you the biggest hug in person. If there is anything we can do online, please tell us.

You are in our thoughts and prayers, and have love from all of us here. *hugs tight*
