getting engaged but each to their own at the end of the day This is an extremely sensitive topic and I know its a bit of a minefield-especially since many on HYS were familiar with Stuart and June as a couple for a number of years and counted both of them as friends.I can only comment as a friend.Im very aware of Junes absence on here -my son had surgery a fortnight back and its the first time since I joined the EC-now five years back-that I wasnt talking to June in the days leading up to hospital days-her messages of support and care will always stay with me-and the birthday cards she sent every year,as well as postcards,Christmas cards-articles in magazines she thought would interest me-all are kept and are treasured-altho she didnt get to meet my familly they knew her care.And Im aware that the first anniversary of her death is coming.I think when I see the old gang on here we know some-one is missing. In the months following Junes death Milkhopes grief was apparent for all to see on here-I cannot begin to imagine how that must have been for familly-I know how I felt nearly losing my own mother earlier this year-but it was NEARLY.I still am so frightened that one day it might be so-its still that raw  Was I shocked by the engagement ???Well being honest-yes I was.Might not be the done thing to do but I owe it to both Milkhope and June to be honest.It did seem very fast from my point of view-and this is still a relatively outsiders point of view-perhaps the fact that I still cant move on from our trauma makes it look like that to me but at the same time I cant sit in judgement. Grief is a strange thing-it takes us all differently and one thing Ive learned is that there is no right or wrong way. Life does have to go on and people cope as best they can. June is not forgotten on here but I do wish Milkhope and Alice all the best xxxx |
