3 days now since my wonderful Mum passed away and today it has just hit me like a tonne of bricks. Don't know if its because the local paper is out today with the announcement in, making it official, or what but I don't think I could ever feel as low as I do today.
Another mountain of cards has just dropped through the letterbox, with lovely messages in about mum and what a lovely lady she was, so why was she taken from us, why can't they take the bad people away and leave the special ones.
I really thought I was coping quite well but I suppose this is what grief feels like, I know I am going to have lots of days like these but I just find it so hard.
Sorry for rambling but as I am sat at home on my own I just needed to get my feelings out.
