Total Meltdown

Yesterday it was my turn: complete meltdown, worse even than when Kay died. It lasted for what seems like ages and in the end I had to get Marion to rescue me, a first. Today I can still feel a post hysteria hangover. But yeh, in the meantime we're in Nancy on the way to our house in the south. Got 8 hours of driving in front of me, so no room for the hysterics. Audio book on, head down, drive.

  1. It was going to happen, I'm sure you both needed it. But yet again there are no words. I'm hoping and praying that once you have faced the shock of arriving and have walked, stood and sat (and doubtless cried together) all round the house - the time in France will help you grow in mutual love and support. And more than anything, I pray that you will begin to heal. One hour at a time.
    Hang in there Rob and Marion.
    Much love and many, many hugs.

  2. Dear Rob
    Glad to hear you needed rescuing! Sounds odd , I know but it must be exhausting to be always the comforter and being strong for others .I am glad Marion was able to be there for you as I am sure she needs to feel needed too. You are obviously a fab team so find strength and comfort with one another after all, nobody understands better than you two how you are feeling and what you have been through.
    Hope you all have the best possible time in the sunshine.
    Keep going with the hugs[but maybe not whilst you are driving !!]
    Always in our thoughts

  3. Dear Rob,
    Hang in there! I found a beautiful quote for you:

    Fear is the father of courage and the mother of safety. - Henry H. Tweedy

    Big Hug for you & Marion

  4. That's okay Rob. You needed to let it go and Marion needed to be able to rescue you. You are a team and helping each other on this journey. Grief is emotionally exhausting and you will need lots of quiet and rest. You have to take care of yourselves and each other.

  5. You needed that I'm sure. Glad that you are getting a change of scenery. It will bring back memories but these are important to hold on to.
    Be there for each other.
    Much love to you all.

  6. Dear Rob, I just want to put my arms around you. Just keep it going, one foot in front of the other, one day at a time. Kay is with you and knows your pain. She will want you to get better Rob, please get better. Love, Ali xxx
