I admire you both so very much for how you’ve coped over the last two years. You have shown us just how brave and capable you are, however you feel inside. Bravery isn’t not being afraid, it’s carrying on, doing the best you can, because it needs to be done. I can’t imagine what that’s cost you, at times, but you did it, for your girls.

I’m not surprised that, as you say, now you finally have a little calm in your lives, it all hits you. In a funny way, I’m relieved to have you back blogging these last few days, because even if what comes out is sad and angry, at least you are letting it out. At which point, I will stop spouting psychobabble, and resume my British stiff upper lip…

Take care of each other. Much love.
