Hit me like a tonne of bricks

Less than one minute read time.

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.

    Hello Lynnie

    my heart goes out to you I know that feeling. When i felt like that after losing my dad, my best friend who lost her mum to cancer, told me it would be my lowest ebb. That made me feel very relieved and for me it turned out to be true. A very kindly old friend of my dad's told me after my dad died that it is the cost and privilege of a wonderful relationship with your parent that you feel such intense grief. Take very good care of yourself
