[Closed] Ignore - think I just need to write it down

What I can't cope with is my hideous extended family.

Worse still, my bikes are in storage

Any ideas on how to cope?

Oh ok, thanks for replying gwerty.
1 No, some memebers are very passive aggressive, unpredictable, moody or just have this jokey persona which doesn't change whether they are at a wedding, funeral or having a cup of tea.
2 Good idea re the bikes - I will
3 Drinking beer now, mini break is coming up in two weeks but maybe I could organise another one sooner too.
Seriously thanks, it's nice you replied 🙂

Keep on going forward... what else [i]can[/i] you do? Get a bike out of storage, if possible.

I remember when my beloved grandmother died (some of my most important childhood memories are of escaping to stay with her in the Quantocks). When I was down, I would imagine her admonishing me for moping about - and telling me to take the dog for a walk. And so I would.

The loss doesn't get easier, but - in time - you'll find what you need to bear it. Good luck.

Thanks noteeth.
Once I've sobered up, I'm going to drive to London to get my Soul (maybe literally 🙂 ) and go ride it till everything is ok again.
I wish I'd not deleted my original post now, getting some really nice replies 🙂

go ride it till everything is ok again.

Good call. It's a well-named bike, for sure. 🙂

write it again, i'l say something nice 😀

Thanks guys! I don't even know any of you, the kindness of strangers, eh? :)Actually, that should probably be, the kindness of bikers 🙂

Dude, latecomer here. Didn't read your original post but based on the residue that remains, extended family is a misnomer. They are acquaintances known via a third party or parties. Compartmentalise them as that. There are acquaintances within the family demographic that I really don't care if I never see again. Some I actively avoid. Some I despise.

I Did read your original post . Ignore them and their actions .Physical stuff and money is trash memories and love are gold .Remember the good times with your gran. Right now you will feel the loss but as time passes you look back at the gains made by having her in your life. . Sympathy and all that.
