Update on Why No Updates

Apologies for the lack of updates of late. Both my dad and mother-in-law died last month within two days of each other. Both were sudden. I'm sure many of you have been through this so will know how awful it is and how much there is to be done.

I do hope to get back into blogging and get some book lists done. I also have the Petrona 2020 books and change to the judging panel to tell you about.

Sorry to learn the news. I have coped with the illness and passing away of parents and elders. Understand your sense of loss and bereavement. Rest well and when you are at peace with yourself and the world without do return. You are wanted by all of us.

So sorry to hear this Karen. I’ve been there with my Dad so completely understand.

Thanks for all your work on the blog and it’s understandable that you need to take time off.

Be kind to yourself and we will still be here when you have time and feel ready to come back.

So sorry to hear that Karen - I had that experience many years ago, but it gets no easier. Thank you for your amazing online resource!

So sorry for your losses, and double the grieving at the same moment. How difficult that is.
Thank you so much for your blog, and sending you sympathy.
