Ha ha – we will find it and erect a blue plaque for you!
the silly comment was instead of this
I used to think that if i was faced with my death i would want to get everything perfectly in order leave everything just right for those around me. however having been at the side of my best friend as she prepared for hers it gave me a completely different perspective.
She was always a very vocal and determined person until the last couple of months, but when it came to her death she was so at peace with everything, happy for everyone around her to decide what was done after her death – she didn’t leave any ‘wishes’ with regards to what she envisaged for the kids in any way. she merely wrote them a letter each.
She really did see how life would just go on, and it does. I guess she realised no matter how much she did to leave things just so, it would make absolutely no difference to the incredible pain we were all about to experience.
So my only hope would be that if i were ever to be in her shoes, if i could be as brave as she was and remain so calm and reassuring to those around me as she did. She was incredible
which i wrote then cut out, then cried a lot, had a cup of tea, gave myself a talking too – and then wrote something stupid. which to be fair my friend would have much preferred! but i thought i’d share it anyway. losing loved ones sucks and one day i hope i can talk about her without crying as i am sure she would have preferred that!
