Thread: Hug your loved ones, and often

May she be granted eternal peace,
to you Bill the strength to soldier on.

Bill,

So sorry to hear of tragic situation of your loss of your beloved wife.

I suffer from bi-polar disorder and I count myself lucky that I only have it mildly. When I'm down there is no rational reasoning and reaching out is the last thing I really want to do - ultimately it is the disease talking and nothing about the love you have for others. I know I am loved by my wife/kids/friends as your wife knew that you love her, but it was the darkness of the disease that took her and not anything you did or didn't do.

With respect,

Jonathan

I feel very humble, inadequate and guilty, because every single contribution expressing condolences, empathy, sympathy,words of encouragement, and the sharing of similar experiences truly deserve a personal individual response from me.Simply hitting the ''thanks'' key below every post and writing a general response occasionally seems so inadequate and disrespectful to all of you who have displayed such kindness, understanding and generosity towards me. For that I do apologise and can only stress once again that I am deeply moved, many times to tears by every contribution. and I sincerely express my condolences to everyone who has endured similar tragedies, and offer my very best wishes to those who personally have, or are caring for, or concerned about family members, friends etc that are burdened by mental or any life threatening or debilitating illness.
Regards, Bill.





Thanks 'Grimace 'and ''Going Bush' for the kind words re my past LandRover career.If the title hat you suggested Don, came anywhere near fitting me, that was a long time ago, and I freely admit that since my forced early 'retirement' this feeble memory of mine has deleted well over half of the 4wd related data that it once held.

Definitely not the case, not at all Bill. You're acknowledging everyone and that's no disrespect. Given everything on your plate I think everyone would understand if there was no response at all

Sorry to hear what has happened,can't think of anything more to say than what has already been said.
An all to common very sad situation,keep your head up,we are here for you

Bill,

Having seen this thread earlier, I had avoided it. (Yeah, the typical bull**** reaction you speak of earlier)

I just knew it would be sad news.

Well , despite a little tear in my eye, I feel somewhat uplifted by the love, empathy and condolences from some truly sincere replies.

Best wishes and good luck Bill.

I am in SE suburbs of Melbourne - If you need a hand with anything drop me a PM.

.....now to go and hug the missus.
