I'm afraid (or perhaps you might appreciate this?) that I won't be contributing for the next couple of weeks or so, as I have a submission deadline looming for my distance-learning course and we very sadly lost my grandmother around midday today. She was in the final throes of dementia and had been weakening and fading for some time, but losing her is still hard. It has to be admitted, though, that we feel a sense of relief as she had seemed unhappy for some time and had, after a long (she was born on the final day of 1916), happy and generally lucky life, been suffering from having virtually no quality of life for several months. Though she always used to claim atheism in the past, she had, in her more lucid moments been saying she wanted to be with her husband (my grandfather passed away 18 years ago), so, though I admit to being agnostic myself, I find myself in the awfully hypocritical position of wishing that they are reunited in some sense.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the forum as and when I get the opportunity, and may well post occasionally, but don't be surprised if I don't welcome new members or leap in with advice as is my wont.
