I am also so sorry that I didn't reply to all. It was a difficult and stressful week. Thursday saw me have a bit of a meltdown. However my son has taken over as my 'voice' re trying to sort out arrangements. It has been very fraught. We finally have a date for mum's funeral.
I braved the hairdresser today and then went to the florist to sort out flowers.
When I returned home I managed a little craft therapy- it soothed me.
So this is how I left my 'desk' tonight ( Tuesday)
I made two thank you cards for two of my class ladies ordered something via me.
I wil try to do much better re visiting desks this coming week. Please bear with me. I will get to everyone eventually.
Why not pop over to Julia's blog and join with WOYWW - details of how to join in are all there.
There's no need to visit Anne...just know where I am if you need a friend. Craft therapy has got me through many difficult days so keep it up and I really hope all the planning goes well for you.

Just take care of you, Anne. That's the most important thing. I know exactly how you feel. I've been there recently too so will just send you gently hugs and know I am thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteTake care

Please don't stress about returning visits, we understand what you're going through in this traumatic time. Just look after yourself and don't feel guilty about crafting, it helped me after my mum passed away.

Hi Anne, I know how you are feeling as I lost my dad about six weeks ago and my dear hubby has been sorting out all the finances and everything for my mum, it's a hard time and we ended up having an unattended funeral as I didn't want to risk my family feeling they had to attend. You take care and just take it easy. The cards are lovely and at least we have our crafting to keep us busy. Have a lovely and productive WOYWW, Angela x15x
ReplyDeleteyour cards are beautiful .Please dont worry about visiting desks - do what YOU need to do . sending more (((((((hugs)))). soojay xx
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, and please don't worry about visiting, we all understand how difficult, and busy a time this is for you, just know our thoughts are with you. A little crafting when you feel up to it is always lovely therapy. Sending you much love and gentle hugs, Shaz #5 XxX
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn’t matter Anne, we know where you are in your life tapestry and you mustn’t pressure yourself over visiting us, there’s time for that any other week! Am glad that your son has taken over the bits that need a voice as it were, it’s a difficult enough process without having to deal with it when you don't feel up to it. Very pleased to read that the table and a bit of crafting helped to restore you a little. In the middle of all the sadness, your ladies will be knocked out by those lovely cards and your thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeleteI think you have every right to have a meltdown! it probably did you good in a funny kind of way. glad you are getting things organised and that your son is helping. take care and only visit when you feel up to it. hugs Helen #2
ReplyDeleteHi Anne. There is just so much to do after a death - all the arrangements etc., I'm not surprised you had a meltdown - especially as everything is so difficult at the moment. Just take your time, and be kind to yourself. It will all come together. Well done making those two cards - a great tonic!
ReplyDeleteTake care. Stay safe. God bless.

ReplyDeleteDear Anne.. I know how difficult this time is for you. We'll be here when you're ready for us. I am sending a big hug your way. Love from Oregon. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteNo need for visits or apologies Anne. Hope the visit to the hairdresser and the craft therapy has helped a bit. Having a date for the funeral must help a little too. Hugs. Stay safe and happy belated WOYWW. Sarah #1
ReplyDeleteJust - thinking of you at this very sad time. It is so hard...
