Thimble Hall Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I just popped in to say Hi. I am gradually coming out of my shell so am hoping I can pop back often.It is still hard for me as I spent so much time on here after my husband died. I went a bit odd, appparently I had not accepted his death, I was stll expecting him to come home so eventually it affected my health.I bought alot of things I didn't need.Then I started to give a lot of stuff away , much was surplus and that was OK but also much was things I should not have been getting rid off.,but didn't realise it was odd behaviour.It has been explained to me since that I was geting ready to die off myself.All very odd, anyway it all sort of hit me when I was here one day and didn't know why I was here. I contacted my DR. I was told I was suffering from delayed grief and it had finally hit me. There are a few months that I am unclear about,bits are still coming back slowly.It was all very weird, still is, but it seems I have come through it. I didn't have any depression or meds, I just mentally took an easier route than reality I guess. I jst couldn't bring myself to come back until I was certain I was through it all. OK. I just have to back track on a few things till they make sense. So you all now have an explanation why I seemed to vanish..This took a pluck to write but there you are. This last week I have been selling off my stash of kits, a couple of very nice folks bought some of them and I suggested they join the forum and I hope they do. I have not touched a kit for a long time but am starting to feel the first rumblings lately, so it will be good when it all comes back. I didn't make any charity give aways for three years now so see no point in hanging on to kits I won't do anythiing with..so they are going. I will be keeping a couple only and will keep all my Petite Properties kits. The expected back surgery I was waiting for didn't happem the neurosurgeion would not do it, he said it was too dicey and refused so that threw me for a small loop. That was lat yaer so have accpeted that now. Other than the fact that I have no appetite that is all.I am losing weight, not the right way to lose it but what can you do. I guess it will come back. Anyway friends..you are all up to date, my secret is out. I Hope I can I will stay with the forum. I just needed to share that with you all. I don't think I offended anyone. I have started working my way through my workroom which has laid unused formore than 2 years at least so maybe when I get it all sorted I may just, with a bit of luck, build something,until then I won't have much to share but will enjoy reading about all your work Love form Jeannine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Welcome home, Jeanine, I have missed you sorely. Grief work is a bear (I am thinking of a worse word), but must be done, one way or another. I also have a dicey back, and at my age it's slowing me down. We love you and are here for you when you need us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medieval Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I am sorry for your loss. Everyone handles grief differently. So no apologies, or labels like weird or odd. I shudder to think of how I will hold up when it is my turn. You are working through a difficu5lt time as best y9u can, that's all. You may not build any more, but your camaraderie and experience will always be treasured by me. I look forward to hearing from you....your journey through life and opinions on ours!

Thimble Hall Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thanks gang, you have given me the support that enabled me to sort out a house to go back to working on . I was changing it so now I have to figure out what part I am up to..going to be fun.. Qubanqtee, I remember beating someone on e bay when I bought my Queen Anne and I think it was you.and felt dreadful later because I didn't know it was member. I have sold off most of my houses but have still got the Queen Anne. I only wanted to keep one of the large MDF kits I had, the Queen Anne, The Newport and the Granville..well it has taken me a week and with a bit of help from forum members I have decided. The Queen Anne won.I have no idea wheh I will make a start but she stays. XX Jeannine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debz Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Probably been about 11 years since I actually said anything on this forum (2 kids and life got in the way) but I do pop in to see what you've all been up to and it's lovely to see you back. I've thought about you often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
