Hello again

[Dutchess]

Hi all,

Forgive me, but I have not been on WAB a while. I don't know how to say this except tell it how it is.

Personal circumstances have gotten pretty dire. My other half and I have finally split. The split was sudden and has left has left me utterly devastated. I've slept or eaten very little these past couple of weeks and so I'm not the best of company right now...but I do need something to keep me occupied as the days and nights seem very long. He was a massive (albeit volatile and demanding) personality and has left a huge void in my life.

I hope some old friends and the chat on WAB will help keep me going in the lead up to Yule and all the "celebrations".

Thanks all.

I'm really sorry to hear of your unfortunate circumstances at the moment Dutchess, and my heart goes out to you, there's never a good time for this to happen, but around Christmas I believe is the worse, especially if there are children involved,
I'm sure there are lots of your friends on here that will help you through this difficult time, and knowing the folks on here you won't be short of constructive advice by people that have gone through the same experiances that you are now facing.
I really hope everything works out for you.

Cincere regards

Wayne.

Oh dear - been there, done that, bought the t-shirt!

You need friends around you, my girl.

Just drop me a line if you want to chat - about anything at all. I'm around most days except when I sleep etc. From 6.30 am until late evening.

Glad you are back where people can keep an eye on you.

You had been missed and we were setting up a search party here for you. Your disappearance so soon after losing Mrs Fish was making us feel very nervous..........

I'm right sorry to hear the reason for absence - like HW - been there done that - hope I never have to do it again. Eventually after the shock and the upset and the regret and the wanting everything back how it was - eventually you will get mad and start humming Gloria Gaynor that's when you know you;re going to get over it, and come out of the corner with the gloves off head held high Until then lay low, lick your wounds and grieve and pass time on here with your wabby friends

Sorry to hear about your problems - I hope the split wasn't acrimonious.

Take the opportunity to fill the void with doing things _you_ want to do, without having to consider or negotiate with someone else.

Hello Dutchess, and the warmest of welcomes back to WAB.

Along with everyone, I am very sorry to hear of your situation, but rest assured, you will get through this - so stay determined, and focus on the future and the positive things to come.

You have many friends on WAB, and we're always here for you. Well - at least when our computers are switched on (I told you in one of my first posts on WAB that I had a bad sense of humour ).

As they say around these parts -"Keep your chin up".

Look forward to seeing you posting again.

Best regards
Mike.

PS: When are you going to put your rabbit avatar back up?
We can't have the Dutchess as some anonymous question mark now can we, it just ain't right.

Oh Dutchess, I'm so sorry to hear your terrible news. You will have realised by now how much you have been missed on WAB. I do hope that you get yourself back on track soon.
Maybe I will have to send you some Elderflower wine after all.

Take care, and remember the family WAB is always here to help and listen.

James

Hello all of you good people. My word, you are such sweethearts, I didn't expect such understanding and certainly didn't realise I would have been missed!

Thank you all for being there for me, I may well call on some of those offers in my darkest hours (and I have plenty of those )
