    Been feeling like my grief has hit me all over again this week. Kind of expected it but not sure how to actually deal with it.

I knew September would be hard but didnt expect to feel such overwhelming loss again.I think I am reliving each day of the month from last year and have decided…

    10 months today since Mum died, and also exactly a year since we were told she was untreatable. This last month has been strangely difficult, and today more so.

    Feel so much more positive than I thought possible!

    Here I am, on the eve of my first Mother's day without you Mum. I know that you are with me in my heart, I know that you would tell me to 'chin up' and smile. Yet tomorrow will be so hard, we normally spend it together. I miss you so much Mum, and although it is just one more day without you, it marks so much more.

    Yet I want you to know that we are getting on with life, the children too. Easter, holidays all…
