bluefirebirdYou 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...

Date: 2011-09-15 09:33 pm (UTC)This weekend I'm going to be mostly away from my computer at my parents' house, and it'll be a pretty packed weekend, so I might not be able to support you properly until I get back on Monday. I just want to let you know that it doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you and sending all the sympathy and good thoughts in the world.
