Sad thoughts and bad news
Ivan Noble has been writing about his malignant brain tumour on the BBC website since September 2002; today he posted for the last time. He is no longer well enough to contine!
Over the months of my Sister's treatment we would read the posts and talk about the differences and feelings that his writing would raise. His last post has raised a number of feelings about my sister and sees me end the day with a lump in my throat.
It started at lunch time when listening to the radio at lunchtime Jeremy Vine was playing Angel by Sarah McLachlan the very moment I turned on the engine. I sat in the car park unable to move as for the second time since my Sister's passing I forced myself to hear the tune playing at the moment she passed away back in November.
Today I have dropped into a pit of dispair far deeper than I was when my Sister passed away and at the time of her funeral. As I seemed to be managing my grief and being strong for all those around I discover that I have feat of clay. In throwing myself into work and my own family I have been able to mask just how I felt but with today's events have shown that I have a number of issues to resolve as to what has happenend and my actions.
