Just observed the national two minutes of silence, while bawling like a baby. I think I have cried more than not in the last while.
They are saying there will be about 250 dead all up, and some bodies may never be recoverable.
Around 775 inner city buildings will be demolished, that is on top of the ones already gone from the first quake, and if we have any strong aftershocks the number could go up.
Some people are still without power or water and the city is having to pump sewerage out into the sea as an emergency measure.
I have been trying to do my designing but it is just not happening. I just sit around waiting for the next aftershock, jumping every time I hear a bang or a car goes past, and hope it wont be another big one.
Hubby went to work today. thankfully he come home after 3 hours so see how i was, and I bawled like a baby again... Coping better this afternooon.
Sorry to be depressing, it is my life right now...

I don't think those feelings are gonna change anytime soon. :( (((HUGS))) What is it you design? With your mind so preoccupied and stressed it might take you some time to get your mojo back. These things are awful and I am so sorry for anyone and everyone that has ever gone through it. I imagine this has effected many many things in your life. I just can't imagine. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. I heard about it on the news and within a few days our news is on to newer happenings. But you aren't forgotten and your stories keep you in our hearts and minds. When I say you I mean everyone struggling through these events.

Your feelings are very understandable. Please accept my deepest condolences for what you are enduring right now, personally, and as a nation. My heart goes out to you. Will continue to pray for your emotional well-being and protection during the aftershocks.

be as depressing as you would like right now Squiggs you have every right to be. I also observed 2 minutes of silence for you guys as I think it is the least I can do.
I cannot imagine how raw your nerves and emotions are at this moment.

My heart goes out to you, I can't imagine how you are living right now. I would be just like you. The only time I was ever in an earthquake was when I was a child and I lived in Cyprus. I remember my parents being very stressed out. I was just glad we weren't hurt. I was never told all the damage etc. We never had a TV so it wasn't broadcast all over the place it was back in the very early 60's. I am thinking about everyone missing and missing friends. My girlfriend lives in Christchurch but was visiting Perth at the time. We had only spoken a couple of weeks before, about all the aftershocks you have had since the last one.....My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Squiggs, I am praying for you. I have a friend whose brother was in Christchurch at the time of thequake, and whom they haven't heard from yet. The Red Cross is searching for him now. My heart just bleeds for you my dear, sweet friend. I wish I could do something, anything to help you through this. Love you, M!!! <<<<BIGGEST HUGS>>>>
