As some of you know I lost my darling mum to lung cancer 9 days ago on 31/1/09. We have now made the funeral arrangements, which is on Friday 13th. I am not looking forward to this day but know it has to happen.
I took dad to see mum at the chapel of rest today, which was very emotioal, but I do feel has helped a bit. I miss my mum so very much, I still cry every day. I know it's still early days but at the moment I just feel I will never get over the loss of my lovely, lovely mum.
Hope this blog finds you all keepin your chin up xx

Dear Gaynor, my brother died before Christmas so I am a little further down the road, but I miss him loads still and little thikngs will 'set me off'. I guess I go for longer periods each day, ea ch week without an overwhelming sense of loss coming over me, afterall he was 'with' me always, if not in body in soul for over 50 years. It is tue you can truly grieve after the funeral, which hoipefully will be more of a thanksgiving and rememberance. I can smile though at happy times and I love remembering them, but them I hear his voice and am back to square one! He did have a faith and I take huge comfort from the fact that he knew where he was going and he was not afraid, just sad at leaving us, and because it all happened so much faster than anticipated he was sorry he had not tied up lose ends.
Thinking of you at this difficult time, and special thoughts for Friday. Be strong.
Just wanted to let you know I have been thinking of you today and hoping everything went as well as could be expected. Sending you a big hug to you and your family.
Thankyou Pheonix. Today went very well..as funerals go it was perfect. The sun shone, the service was tailored just for mum and the music we chose suited my lovely mum to a T !
I can almost say I feel a sense of calm now, not sure it will last, maybe it's because it's been a very busy day.
My mum was my soul mate and I am missing her badly - I just hope she is somewhere safe and is happy.
Haven't been on for a couple of weeks as dad has not been too good and has been in hospital again.
I just read about your mum and wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear that she had passed away. I hope you're ok and that now the funerals over you've got time to sit down, relax and hopefully start to think of all the happy memories you must have of her.
I'm sure your mum is safe and happy and is very proud when she looks down on you.
Thankyou for your message. I really hope that your dear dad is doing ok.
I do have such fond memories of my lovely mum, it's still hard to get to sleep at night as I keep hoping that she's ok - whever she may be. Boy I miss her so, so much...
