Hi,
It's really hard when you don't have family around you - a similar circumstance as my hubby and I moved from QLD to come down and look after my aging Mother, she passed away five weeks after we moved to Victoria....as a result we moved to a small town (we were thinking of moving to Tasmania) but I landed a job at the local Council and whammo! Guess what......lump, doctors and all the rest. So my hubby and I had to go through it all with no family around...mind you at the time I wasn't thinking to much about our isolation, just trying to plough through each day. The ONE thing that kept me sane was this website! The ladies on here helped me through my fears, rants and general raving. I needed to vent, and it was so good that the women on here are used to it, we have all done it, we all needed to do it - so even though you are isolated in geographical terms......here - you are not alone. Don't be afraid to put down your thoughts - you will get responses and they will benefit you in many ways, just remember we are 'here for you'....big hugs and lots of love from Josie x
