My dear friends
I'm not quite sure why I'm doing this but I think they deserve a tribute somewhere (and I find it cathartic).
My dear, darling friends, Moira and Mike.
We buried Mike on Monday. Moira is back in a UK hospital with memory problems and disorientation due to her brain injury, facial disfigurement, damage to her tendons in her arm, balance problems and a whole heap of grief.

"This is a frightened city. Over these houses, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men".

My condolences (again).

Truly sorry for the tragic loss.
May Mike rest in peace and may the rest of you find comfort in each other.

Extending my most sincere condolences, Mrs. Roo. Prayers for Moira are on their way across the pond.
It's been a long time since I've lost a friend, but I remember the feeling all too well.

Traumatic brain injury is an area I know well as I have worked in that field for some time. What she has going for her is that it is still early days, she in an intelligent person so will have a lot of reserve, and I am going up there tomorrow to make sure she gets all of the rehabilitation services she needs. I'm not hopeful about her face as she has paralysis of the left facial nerve. She may always have some memory problems and it remains to be seen whether this will inhibit her ability to work as a physiotherapist.
Thanks for you support. guys. (A-Wreck, Roo's rambling summit TR sums up what happened)Monty Python's version of the cougar phenomenon:

Mrs. Roo, I am very sorry. My thoughts go out to you and the Mr. and my prayers for Moira. The picture says a million words about these two IMO. God bless!

Thoughts and prayers. We're never alone in happiness or sorrow.

I visited Moira this weekend. She's making small gains each day and I'm now more hopeful that the she will make a good recovery from the brain injury. The grief will take longer and be a higher obstacle in many ways. We hugged hard when I left and she knows she's not on her own. I stayed with Mike's mother who is a truly astounding woman in her love for Moira and her resiliance considering she has lost her only beloved child. A true inspiration to us all. It just shows that even after such tragic and traumatic events, time is already moving on and the wounds are just starting to pull together at the edges.Monty Python's version of the cougar phenomenon:

Good to hear she's making progress.
Fingers crossed that time will heal at least some of the wounds & pain.

So, so sorry. This breaks my heart. The picture is so beautiful. Losing peers is so hard, and you've got the added element of having a friend face enormous grief. Make sure you take care of yourself while you're taking care of others.
