    About Me

    my son aged 28 took his own life in september 2006 i dont think I will ever get over it. i run two groups one for careleavers of barnardos and the other for those whose lives have been affected by suicide. my husband who had lymphoma for 8 years has since died on 22nd may 2007 I love gardening and decorating & since I have been left on my own I am enjoying it more than I did, lets say I appreciate it and throw myself into it now. I now work 3 mornings a week doing voluntary work and it has helped me with my loneliness and also I have such fun!

    Interests

    gardening thats about it just now!! and of course the grandchildren

      my son lived with a girl who had bi pola disorder, and they had a little girl, lynette was always very irrational and sometimes screaming and so nasty to Ian. Anyway after Ellie was a year old Lynette prevented my son from seeing her totally, Ian took it to court and she just intimidated him. however he couldnt bear it any longer and he took his own life last year. She now says we can see the daughter after 3 years but I dont know if I want to.
