Golly.

This Dealing With Feelings As They Occur Instead Of Bottling Them Up lark's quite effective.

Still no date for the funeral, but it's likely to be on a Friday. So this week's unlikely (or I'd have been told by now, I'd hope) but next week is possible-tending-to-probable.

Except *that* weekend I've just been invited to a Real, Honest to Goodness, Rock Star's Wedding*.

Arse.

*An old friend from Uni is marrying Peter-the-guitarist-with Goldblade. Who, ok, might not be a rock star in the country-pile-and-Bentley sense, but does have a record deal.

Definitely deal with feelings as they occur Pudding, it's the healthy option.

Any tips on how to do that?

But remarkably difficult.

Erm... I'm not sure. Accepting that it's perfectly ok to get upset about bereavement was something, but I'm still having to poke things with sticks to work out just what the hell my brain's doing with them befoer I can react properly.

If someone does / says something upsetting though, it's ok to be upset. That's where I started.

I know. Hey, I'm a Scottish bloke, so expressing my emotions does not come easy!

But I know that it's better to do so than to keep it all bottled up. If you do that then it just finds it's way out in strange ways that you don't expect.
