Just Having A Bit of a Weep

[chrissa1]

I've got through the last 2-3 months ok. Finding a smaller place to live, moving out next week and applied for all the help I can get as when my husband died, our business died with him, hence all our income.
A good friend of ours had kindly lent us a fairly substantial sum of money last year, due to be paid back in Feb of this year and it would have been if he hadn't died. An e mail came through this evening asking (nicely) when I could pay them back.
I just don't have the money to do this and have explained my circumstances to them in a reply e mail but it's just made me cry and I don't know what to do.

I have just sought this thread out to see how things were progressing, Chrissa. So happy to read your latest. God bless your friends, you must be feeling far more relieved about your continuing friendship with them. It cannot have been an easy thing to meet them in anticipation, well done, Chrissa ♥

Hi all. I've today been able to give a 6' wooden, circular table, diameter 6' and 6 chairs that we had in our conservatory. My friends rang and asked about it for their garden and I was so pleased to be able to do this little thing for them. It makes me feel a bit better.

Apologies for the duplication.

Chrissa slowly but surely you'll get there. Hang on in.

So sorry for your loss :o(

Would it not be possible for your friends to restart your husbands business, then they could get a return for their shares and take the pressure off of you? (just an idea)

You are doing great Chrissa, is all still so raw as I know.

No sandrajo, it wouldn't be possible for my friends to take over the business. My husband was a Consultant and Designer of Anti-Terrorist Protection products so all his knowledge has gone with him. Thanks for the thought though.
