Dream: I am so sorry that you grandmother is very unwell. It is a very difficult time for a family. I lost my grandfather in August of 2005 and I still get really upset just thinking about him.
About your DS, when I was about 9 my other Grandfather passed away. I was very close to him and he only lived down the road so I spent many afternoons either in the garden or in the shed watching him fix something. He was my world. He passed away from a heart attack very suddenly. My mum and dad said that I couldn't go to the funeral but I begged and eventually they said I could go to the church service but not to the grave site. After the church service I remember telling my parents that I wanted to go to the cemetary and say good bye and they let me go after a lot of convincing. I recall the funeral very clearly, I think one of the things that upset me the most was seeing my Dad cry during the Eulogy (sp?) but the other thing that it allowed me to do was to truely understand what happends and it wasn't as scary as I had imagined. The other really healing thing was the wake, I got to hear funny stories about my Grandad from the people who knew him his whole life and that made the day complete.
I am very sorry that you are having to consider such things, and I really hope that your Grandmother pulls through, but you know your DS and what is the best for him. I wish that I had the chance to say goodbye to my Grandfather while he was alive. He was taken away so suddenly that the funeral was the way I said my farewell. If you DS wants to see his GGM, it may help him understand, and accept the cycle of life, perhaps keep the visit short, and talk to him about what she is like before you go. All children are differnt though, so I am sure you will do what is best for your DS and for your family. Big warm fuzzy :hugs:
Lynn: I don't know what your body is up to so I am sorry I can't give any useful advice. I of course hope that you are pregnant, but if it is not to be, I hope that the stupid witch just shows the heck up.
Mel: I hope DH is ok. When you feel like it, drop in and let us know how you are going. I am sending all the positive vibes I can muster.
Flowerchild: It never ceases to amaze me just how much you seem to know about the female form. You are astonishing. You always have such useful advice for all of you. I really just wanted to say thanks.
Bailey: I must have missed your post about Bali. Excuse the dumb question but when do you go? I have never been there but I can imagine just how beautiful it must be. Hope you are having a good day.
Well the appointment at the pshyc went well. I talked to him about how worried I am because my ob wants me to go to 38 weeks. He said it isn't his job to advise on medical issues, but that he used to be an OB and would write to my OB and explain the true extent of the fear. He said his interest was my health and that if it all go to much then he would explore opportunities down the track closer to the birth. I am glad that I feel like he is on my side.
Well the ob appointment is at 5.00pm today and then DH heads straight back to Canberra. He is asleep on the couch at the moment because he has been working such long hours. Can wait to see Lil Spring again.
