7 months tommorow, and im ok :)

1 minute read time.

I wasnt going to blog today , but i saw on the young widow thread ,their is some really sad posts ,i have posted on their but i also wanted to blog too, for anyone else who hasnt read it ,

It will be 7 months tommorow since ju died, its also my daughters 14 th birthday ,yet another one of those crappy firsts, but do you know what im ok !!!! this time their were no tears whilst shopping for or  wrapping her pressies , and made her cake this morning and i really enjoyed it, dont get me wrong of course i miss and love ju so much ,but time is helping ,as is the kids, friends, *you know who you are * and my new job, which i feel i should have done a long time ago but hey ho thats life , im doing it now,

I did have a very special moment yesterday with neve , she is teething and i was cuddling her as shes very cuddly atm and she fell asleep in my arms all snuggled up to me that did make me a bit tearful only coz of the feeling of that little life in my arms and i so love her like shes my own, soppy i know but i dont care ,thats me

The reason i did this blog is to show ,you can be happy again , a few other things have happened this week ,and its been a good week for me, everyone says i look happy and healthy again ,my kids are saying its nice to see me smiling so much ,and i love having a smile back on my face, of course its not their all the time , but im happier than i have been for well over a year, its been the toughest year of my life, but i can see my way forward now and that feels great ,

love and hugs jenni xxxx

    Every little bit of happiness u feel, every step u take in this scary new 'normal' you've been thrown into, is a little bit more of learning to carry on with your life. It is so wonderful to hear you are feeling positive. And when its maybe not so good, you know where to find me my friend. xx

    with much love, Cxxxxxxxxx

    Someone on this site said it doesn't get better or easier. Just different. I think Jenni's post proves it might be different, it will never be better than before but it certainly will get easier. It takes alot of work. A lot of guts but we can all get there in the end. The end we get to might not be the end we envisaged when we started but it can be an acceptable second best. Keep smiling

    Love

    Hi Jen.  Ju would be so proud of you and, even though I've never met you, I'm so proud of you too!  Hope you enjoy the birthday and that you have a really special, and happy day, with the kids.  It is heartening for me, at the moment, to know that you are able to feel happiness again.  Caroline XX

    Jenni, no matter how you feel, you are always there and are supportive to others! You are, as the others say, a true inspiration and so strong. I am proud to be a friend of yours and am very, very proud of the strong lady I am come to know and love.

    Thank you for being you
