Still angry

1 minute read time.

Well my counselor is over tonight within minutes, so this will be a quick blog.  I have been really feeling the pull these last two weeks.  Everyone getting merry and talking of spending times with their mums and then bang, my heart drops as I realise I will never get that again.  Why is it all the talking in the world helps at the time and then you hit these god awlful milestones -such as christmas.

 

I am looking forward to it do not get me wrong, but in a different way to anyone else that has not lost anyone dear to them.  I cannot believe the hurt I am feeling again.  hearing that saying, still, well i know its hard Al, but she's in a better place and not in pain.  No, she is not in a better place because she should not have gone in the first place.  My dear mum had her full brain intact when she passed, and as much as try and say to myself I am sure she was ready, how do I know that, was it just my mum being strong to the end and not wanting her kids to see her being weak.

 

I think I may have coped you know if I had not watched Noels Christmas Presents.  Oh

    hi alister.

    believe me I know how hard it must be for you and my heart goes out to you.

    I lost my mum many years ago but always felt something was missing at xmas, I had to carry on for my children and xmas became all about them as I'm sure it was for our mums,

    That is why you although you will be sad at times you will get through and find a way to enjoy xmas once again

  • We all resort to cliches but there is truth behind the words. It is hard, but it does get better. I know the pain and I offer you comfort.

    Best wishes,

    Thank you all for your comments.  My counselor has now just left.  I blurted all the above feelings out to him in one single breath I believe!  My counselor believes I am coping well and moving on healthily with grief.  Most of the time I have agreed with him, but I think because I am feeling particularly low, I must of given a look to say - what on earth do you mean I'm coping, help!!! I think I have gotten so used to acting, this is my problem.  I want people to think I can cope, I know what I am supposed to say, i've read up on it!! But inside (and i'm not being freaky when I say this) but I want her back, I miss chatting with her. Can I not just have one more chat, at least one more!!

    dear alster

    I had to reply. I know just how u feel, and the placating ' in a better place' and 'out of pain' do not help when we are feeling the very real and very raw pain of loss.

    christmas is HARD for people grieving - none more so than the first christmas. it feels like the whole planet is happy, joyful - and how can they be? the only piece of advice i can give is to get yourself through it as best you can, and knowledge that each one following will eventually become a little easier to bear.

    i too watched Noel's Xmas Presents. now am I not one for crying at tv programmes, but I broke my rules for this one. so i know where you are coming from on that. xx

    we here on Mac do truly understand, and here if u need us over christmas and new year.

    love, claire x
