The grumble thread

Sometimes it can help to just scream it out what's [Removed] you off....

I'll start...

As my "company" (aid relief, but behaving like a company) changed so many things.... Our teamleader was thrown out, is a normal co-worker now... The shiftplans are "planed" centrally now (I can't even say it's planned, that would imply it has a structure, but it's just like throwing [Removed] on a paper). The shiftplan is.... just no. We work our asses off, have plushours galore and the other watch has minushours. So they have freetime enough and we thought about putting containers on the watch to live there, because we don't know why we pay rent for our flats - we're hardly ever there!... And the best shifts are always given to the temporary workers who already have a very good job, so they get the extra amount on money instead of us....

Next week I can finally take my annual leave from LAST year (by law you have to take it by 31th march by exception... I got it excepted even longer. I'm so ready for a holiday!

Thanks @blissgirl .. 

But I won't be held responsible for my actions if the docs say..

'It's typical for a balding middle aged bloke' or some other age related remark.

I guess some recognized I wasn't around much the last days... 

I took my mum to hospital with stomachpain on 28th november. 

Day after they found "something" which was "looking malicious" in her lung... 

....

Thurday we got the full diagnosis (before sliced every day a bit) - lung cancer state 4 (of 4), 3 bone metastases, both adrenal glands... The bones-ones very big... So for sure from her breast-cancer (in 2013)...

8-11 months left, gamma-ray - and chemotherapy starting next week.

She was in a good state and wanted to fight (for my brother and me - as dad died aged 56 in 2014)...

Friday midday her state went very bad (pneumonia)... later serious... I was called 4 pm, my brother 6pm (he had to go there from work)... We were with her every second... At 9:40 pm she died. Suddenly. It became so fast so serious... She became only 58. Would've became 59 next month... 

Were still in shock. And I can't understand it...

Oh my God Anna, I am so, so very sorry to hear that. How very cruel that she was taken at such a young age.

I know what it is like to lose both parents in such a relatively short space of time.

It is devastating and you wonder how life can be so cruel. I hope you have your brother close by to support each other.

There is so much I could say but words are never enough and sometimes I struggle to say the right words at a time like this.

My thoughts are with you and your brother

This has shocked me and you have my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences

May she rest in peace

Anna, as I said in my PM I was so sorry to hear your news and can imagine how you are feeling. I still remember my mum's death as if it were yesterday and it was nearly 25 years ago. 

My love and best wishes to you and your brother.  Please know my thoughts are with you and your family.

Anna, I am so so sorry to hear this devastating news. I knew your Mum was ill, but  this was so quick I can only imagine the pain and grief you are feeling now.

You and your brother were with her at the very end and that should bring you some comfort, though not yet, you will still be in shock, as am I.

With this terrible disease, please believe me when I say, at the very least, it wasn't long and painful, therefore she didn't suffer.

My thoughts are with you and your family. God bless you lovely lass xxxx

PS, I will reply to your PM as soon as possible xxx

They say that even after our loved ones are gone, they still live on in our memories. 

So I wondered @ComaChameleon if you could tell us something about your mum, give us a tiny peek at who she was! So she can live on with us too!

Anna, I am so sorry to hear about your mum

My dad passed away 3 years ago from prostrate cancer which had gone to his bones, it was rather quick

I truly believe my dad is up there  shining brightly watching over my mum, my sister, me & his 2 grandchildren

Please know you & your brother are in my prayers
