@menysnoweballes This was amongst the biggest challenges I faced - it was hard enough adjusting to the shock and everything changing without having to make such big financial adjustments again after such a short time. The financial worry just cripples people when they are barely on their feet 💙

Exciting news 👇🏽

[Factory International @factoryintl]

@menysnoweballes I totally relate to this - I can’t even really recognise myself in pictures from before G died - they feel like a totally different person. Ageing has become a very surreal thing x

[Menaka @MenakaRM]

Suggestion to reframe ‘Parents’ Evening’ 🧵 1/3 Two and a half years ago my sister passed away very unexpectedly.Her two young children, 10 and 1 at the time, came to live with me and my children. Although unbearably hard at times, we muddle through as best we can

[Menaka @MenakaRM]

@thesailorsgirl I did one time and never again. I would recommend help - it was all a bit farcical

[Menaka @MenakaRM]

@thesailorsgirl I’ve had to this before - it’s ridiculous but it did work. Good luck 🤞🏽
