See your dead son....and go for a haircut!!!

Less than one minute read time.

I have been thinking about this since yesterday, trying to allow what grief does to people. We are all different.    But please, am I expecting too much here?

I, my mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and my youngest son were going to the funeral home yesterday to see my husband. We still have 2ft of snow and ice up here and despite my brother-in-law having hired a car, I seem to be doing all the driving. He never even offers, despite knowing his way around, just makes a bee-line for my car and gets in the passenger seat.

Anyway, I digress, we came out of there very upset, still crying as it did not look anything like my Hans, his mouth was all wrong and one of his nostrils was compressed somehow. In a way made it easier to believe he has moved on elsewhere, because it wasn't him lying there.

Brother-in-law then asked me to drive around all the hairdressers in town to find one that could fit mother-in-law in straight away for a haircut!!!!!

Crying my eyes out and I'm driving around, trying to park in snow drifts for a damned haircut.

Is it me?

    Take control Grace, Hans, yourself, your

    children, and your mother-in-law are the

    important ones right now. you have lost

    your soulmate, it is a devastating time for

    you all,but you have spent the last few

    months watching your husband get less

    well and you have kept strong for all the

    family, now its your time to do what ever

    you feel you need to do, and that means

    not running around after people, they

    should be looking after you at this time.

    So take control and say NO.

    Thinking of you at this sad time.

    With love Lucylee. xxxxx

    Grace

    I am so sorry for your loss, and so angry about the insensitive actions around you. You are right about Hans not being there, my Julia who died 7 weeks ago told me "that it is just a shell or a box, she would be gone else where"

    Lucy is right you  have to take control say no and do what is right for you. Thinking of you
