Wendy that is tragic. The poor children I feel so much for them.. And your friend must be devastated and, no doubt feeling somehow guilty that she didn't do enough for him. It is good that you are there for her and for them. You will be able to try and make her see that it was not her fault. Is there any organistaion in your area that supports bereaved children? We have Winston's Wish in Gloucestershire, they are very good with bereaved children, helping them hrough the sad times. My thoughts are with the family and with you as you support them. Ann Glos

Hi Ann, must be some sort of organisation here for the kids, will look into it thank you. One of her so called mates asked her if the children blamed her for not doing enough!! she did all she possibly could for him, but that horrible woman has now put doubt in her mind and she is going over every little thing to try and find some way to blame herself, its just all so sad.

Hi Wendy, I just don't know what to say. There's no justice is there. Deborah, I thought your words were really lovely, and I loved that poem too, Elaine (I now have it on Word!). Some years ago and on separate occasions, I was given a couple of "Guardian Angels", in the form of tiny brooches, where you can pin it/them to your clothing and they'll always be with you, wherever you go. I believe "Guardian Angels" are quite popular now. That was a lovely gesture by you Wendy; thank goodness they have someone like you around! (Although someone else has said that already!) Glenys x That tactless woman should be shot! But feelings of guilt are all part of the grieving process. She must believe she isn't to blame.

I suppose if anyone isto blame it is the medical centre that sent him home. but they probably see so many sore throats. Ann glos

Wendy, that is so sad. Nothing can ever bring him back, but his wife and children will have their happy memories forever. My thoughts are with his poor wife and family. Carol. x
