Musical Beds

Less than one minute read time.

It gets to this point every night - ten pm...and I start thinking about bed...feeling the fear that another nightmare will come, the anticipation that I will spend a few seconds during my dream thinking that this isn't reality and then I go upstairs and am met with a game of musical beds.

SInce my darling hubby died, there has been more swapping of beds then I have experienced in my life.

Right now I am wondering whether I will meet my teenager or my six year old when I climb into my bed.....and whether the baby will manage another night in her bed, or whether kicking me in the face all night is far more enjoyable.

And really whether my reason for allowing them to play musical beds is because it will help them, or just push back the moment when I am alone in my bed.

    Whatever helps you through the night, I lost my husband on the 31st August and I am alone apart from my dog so I take her to bed to help me through the night. Keep strong, X

    Having just found out that my husband (also called Andy) has non-operable prostrate cancer I felt I wanted to contact you. I have two children boys, 14 and 12. I feel like I'm already going through a grieving process even though we still have no timescales. I hope you don't mind me asking how you got through this time. I feel like I"m going through hell but also trying to keep strong for the boys. Like you I feel that this is one long nightmare and I'm really struggling.

     

    p.s. musical beds sounds good, whatever helps.
