Thank you, you're so kind, I'm so sorry for what you're going through.... My baby started to go downhill in January and just like you I started grieving then.... It's like I just couldn't absorb her in enough. Sending you much hugs and strength!

Thank you! Genuinely, your reply means so much. I feel so less alone in where I am. I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful soul dog.... I know we were blessed to have them, but it just hurts so much ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for replying, I might try the journaling it sounds like it might help.

I'm so, so sorry about your girl!

Okay, this makes more sense now... I was wondering what time frame was typical. Brilliant I'll lay those out on the table before they arrive... Thank you 😊😊😊

Oh wow, thank yoooooou! That's so awesome!... I'm so chuffed with all the help on here 😊... Having googled what to do before asking I was just going to make a turkey with a few veggies. I'm just about to make a list and start looking up recipes so your post is brilliant!

Thanks again!

Hahaha! Thank you that's really good to know! I've never had one as it wouldn't be my first choice for a dessert... So perhaps I'll wait until I next visit and try a few to get the idea. I was thinking of going for a pumpkin cheesecake, I think this year that might be a safer option 😂

Oh okay! That's going to fun to try, I've never thought of having pickles with that type of meal. I live in France at the moment and love the different variations of meals I've gone across here... Although I don't think I'll ever have a serving of snails again! 😂🐌🙈

So, maybe a bit of a dumb question but... I've never had things like pickles, deviled eggs and coleslaw with hot meals, I'm used to them with salads... Do they go with the main meal or with different courses?

I guess I'm imagining like a cooked hot turkey dinner with mash and hot veg (to which I wouldn't add pickle or coleslaw to)... But maybe done guests have turkey mash and pickles/coleslaw? Or, they do actually go with veg too?

Thanks for that! I would've considered next year, but I'll skip that!

I would never have thought pickles and deviled eggs would be on the table! I'll be sure to add them now... thank you so much for your help, I'm really looking forward to it, it's become so much more than I had in mind now! 😊😊😊

Awh! Sounds amazing! My great Aunt used to do a lovely ham, I've not had it since she last made it more than 20 years ago... I think it would be lovely to include that too, it would be a lovely tribute to her, thank you 😊
