Worrying time

Hi All

I hope your all keeping well.

just thought I would say hi and update you all to let you know that Bri had a good send off it was a lovely service we were allowed 24 people (it was tough having to pick just 24 people but I’m not complaining it could have been worse) we managed a wake in the local pub afterwards.

I desperately miss “my Bri “ and at times it still feels surreal, I am lucky to have a good support network around me and I feel blessed that family, friends and neighbours are all at the end of the phone if I need them. 
it’s a daily struggle but it’s a new way of life that I need to learn to come to terms with one day at a time.

I asked for donations to PC at the funeral and on the day we raised nearly £600, we still have a charity collection box at the pub ( I contacted PC uk and they sent me the donation tin) My neighbours son who is 9 years old is doing a virtual challenge called “the ocean road challenge” which he has to walk 149 actual miles, he is doing really well and only has 40 miles left to do, he has raised £510 at the moment hopefully he can still get some more donations in via his just giving page. I know it can’t help “My Bri” but hopefully the money raised will be able to help go towards helping so  many other men in the future.

bye for now and please try and stay safe and well 🌈

Hi Angie, thanks for the update. Comforting to know Bri had a good send off.

Great to hear the amount raised for PCUK and what an amazing 9 year old neighbour. Good for him. Take care.

Hi Angie,

So pleased to hear that you were able to give Bri a good send off.  Such a difficult time for you and, although you have good support, it must be a struggle each day going forward.  I do think about you and so many on the forum who are experiencing this unbelievable loss and somehow finding the strength to adjust to a new way of life.

An amazing amount collected/donated to PC, people are so generous.

Keep posting, it’s so good to hear how you are.
