How are you doing, Spot?
I dont want to whinge but im going to - im having a bad week. Feeling horrible about kat and cant contact another friend who is in a hospital in melbourne with stomach cancer. Cant get hold of any of her kids (not a surprise since they prolly arent even in australia ATM) and last i heard the chemo wasnt working and she cancelled coming to visit. ive just got a horrible feeling of dread - not about her or kat specifically just with life this week.
As for kat - he was okay one minute and gone the next. Well he wasnt okay (obviously) but i thought he was going to get out of hospital.
Im sure you know how it is. That sunken feeling when someone dies and it goes round and round in your head and you do something to distract yourself and before you know it you are thinking about it again.
Gawd im gunna regret this post i suspect.
Spot
It all sounds really devastating, Spot. Huge issues that you're faced with. I wish all the best for your friend in hospital., and for support for all of you, however separated right now.
Kat has come as a huge shock to me and i was only a cyber admirer. I've know Kat since Yahoo and we were both members of a splinter forum that was set up to escape the trolling on Yahoo. Kat was a good, kind, compassionate. empathic and ethical person. I had tremendous amounts of respect for them.
I know friendship goes deeper than that though. I'm so sorry for your loss, Spot.
And if your hide is thick enough, you will find messages of respect for Kat dotted between the usual garbage.
And i sincerely hope next week is kinder to you.
