I would like to thank everybody who has offered to help me.
It is a true act of kindness and I am extremely grateful.
In all honesty, I have been going through a hell of a lot this year on my own.
Supporting not just my own family but a couple of others also going through some shall we say 'life changing' times.
Life can quite often be a challenge and in meeting those challenges, it makes one all the more grateful for the every day normality, we so often taken for granted. A hidden gift if you will.
Like any human though, we all have our limits.
I'm always a positive person and always there for others but when I found out the highlight of my year had gone, it was the straw which broke the camel's back.
RAB I can take the essence of what you are saying.
Learning to become empowered as an individual is a far more healthy and positive action than crying helpless/victim.
However, in your typically brusque manner, which I have come to expect from you, I sincerely hope that you are not inimating that I am sponging off peoples' good will.
Such an insinuation would be a needless enditement to someone you have never met nor known. I have not included the half of what I have had shovelled on me this year for the very reason, I do not want to look like a victim. Furthermore, I dearly appreciate that everyone on here has troubles and serious circumstances where we are forced to pull out everything from the deepest of ourselves.
However, coming so close to losing certain friends and family forever...I'm sorry but my spirit has been shattered for the time being.
My post was more in the vein of having a place to 'vent' where I feel part of a community. There is something terribly soothing sometimes about coming onto the beekeeping forum, when all else outside might be falling to pieces, and seeing the same old names talking about bees in their same old characteristic manner. You feel almost as if you are neighbours.
That was my immediate intent. To simply share a little of my feelings and frustrations, something I have not been able to do, with people I have come to consider as my bee friends and whose personalities and various querks come to give me a little pleasure.

I am sure it would be useful.
