What I'd give for a hug from Mum todayx

Less than one minute read time.

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. Today is my first birthday without Mum, on Sunday it would be Mum's birthday and on the 21st it is the first anniversary of Mums death. 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 that the song ' wake me up.. when september ends' was written just for me!

I don't want to be all doom and gloom, I have learnt to live my life without Mum and there have been good moments in the last year, but today I really wish that I could step into Mum's arms for a hug!!xx

    H ya,

    Sounds like you are in for a rough month. But you sound like a very strong person mentally.  My thoughts are with you at this sad time.  You look after yourself.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    The first are always the hardest to deal with love.

    Its my hubbys birthday today too and he just said he cant believe his brother has gone even 2yrs on.

    The happy memories do out weigh the sad ones in time.                                                            When Im needing my mum, I go and find a grandchild to hug (one of mine I mean) and feel better.

    I don't know how it feels to be  you right now but I do feel for you and, if your mum is looking down her arms would be reaching and he heart would be giving you the hugs you so need.  Its normal to grieve so give  yourself the right to feel so low right now - at the end of the day all we have that is important is love.  Our families are our rock.  When I was little I would go to my dad's old red waistcoat, put it on, smell it, cuddle it and feel his presence.  He died when I was 9 and I still miss him today.  Allow yourself this time to grieve, move on, live on, its all we can do.  Love Ann x
