It's 7 months today since I lost my best friend in the world, my lovely wee mum. Many of you have followed my journey as I began to take small steps back into the world after the biggest loss of my life.

I'm definitely moving forward and starting to pick up the pieces and move forward. I am returning to work on March 28th. The fact that I now feel I can return to work…
