A year tomorrow we lost mum

Less than one minute read time.

Mum lost her second battle a year ago tomorrow, I can't believe it's gone by so fast.  I'm dreading tomorrow if I'm honest as I wish she was still her. I'm not working tomorrow but the rest of my family are, yes we are having some fireworks to mark her death and a bonfire which is what she would of wanted. 

Most post it's say it gets easier, which yes it does, I think I've been very lucky as it's only this time of year where all the 1st anniversaries are, her birthday in sept, now her 1st yr since her death tomorrow. 

How do you all cope, as I find my friends not really interested any more as it was a year ago.

ive had counselling with cruise which really helped, but is it normal to think you might need some more.

    I'm sorry to hear about your mum. I hope the day wasn't too hard for you. I hate it when people say to me, 'I know how you feel' , so I'm not going to. But, my mum died 32 years ago today when I was 18 months old, so I know how tough anniversaries can be.  And I know ow what you mean about not talking to friends because I feel like I'm being a burden to them.

    If the counselling helped you, I'd say go back.  I see a counsellor and I feel it really helps me, especially at this time of year.

    My lovely husband has helped me realise that we all deal with grief differently, so I would say do what you need to do.

    Much love
