Christmas was ok and we celebrated in my beautiful mum's honour and had lots of FUN. Just like she told us to and would have wanted. Of course we missed her more than words can say and we really kept her memory alive. 

Now the festives have ended and I'm back home. I literally am dreading the New Year. It's my Mums Birthday on New Years Eve too. I plan to just be in my pjs and chill with my dad and hubby. I really don't want the New Year to come. I don't want a year to start that my beautiful mum won't have lived in. I know it will come and I know I will find inner strength. If this year has taught me anything it's I'm stronger than I ever knew, I cope better than I ever knew. This is the hardest thing I have ever faced. It's werid but I know I can do this because my mum raised me and gave me all these skills. I just wish she was with me. I miss her so much, it still hurts like it was yesterday.   Xxx

    Thank you so much for your quick replies ladies.

    Yes, I do mean just the numbness instead of being euphoric that I didn’t have it. It’s such an awful disease I felt like I should feel something but I just don’t. It’s really odd. But you have both helped me feel less abnormal, thank you. Sorry just needed a sanity check.

    I hope you are feeling better now?

    safe trip tomorrow.

    Rest well ladies xx

    Hello. I know what you mean about nobody wants to talk about death - yet, it is something we are all heading towards at some point. It’s not a case of if it’s a matter of when. I never liked to talk about death, even when I knew mum was terminal with cancer, my brain somehow refused to accept it, you want your loved ones to be with you for as long as possible. When mum passed, I think about death differently now and can talk about death openly. I have had the worst thing to happen in my life - losing mum. As you said faced with the worst can bring you self protection. x

    Hi Sunny43, 

    Welcome (dont know its thats the right word) not a place any of wants to be or imagined our selves. But a place we can share experiences and let it out. Xx 

    Yes I think that so true. Its afterwards ive rethought about death and dying too. ( I was a big avioder before. Wouldn't even enter my head. Protection. Don't think, it it won't happen. )

    Hey SPu, 

    I'm ok. Had a tough up and down week. Very emotional. So today had a little chat with myself and  wrapped up warm and went on a long walk with my mum's beloved dog. He loved it and did me good to get out and get some air. Going back to work tmrw. Been off poorly then annual leave. Hoping I sleep as I know the 5.30 alarm is gonna be a hard. 

    Wishing you all a good week. Xx
