Has met a woman friend with depression whom she can trust and talk to about personal issues.

 



And this lady, she is 79, which is a little bit older than me, not a lot, and her husband's semi-invalid and all this, that and the other. And you know, over the five years I've known this lady, because I go shopping for her or I go to a meeting with her, council meeting or something. I've got so close to this lady that I can talk to her.

And we got on to talking about my Dad. And I, now, the way I feel now I, I've said to her that, I mean, this is all I've said to her but I feel I could if I wanted to, talk to her about it. The way I feel about my father at the moment I wish I hadn't bothered, you know. I realised then I'd said something. And she said to me when you are ready, you'll tell me. She didn't push me. So therefore I feel, she's not nosey, she doesn't want to know out of curiosity else, she would have, you know, kept on picking. So I feel I could talk to her. Again it would be another piece of support.
