Hello
Living alone, since my Linda passed, hasn’t been easy. Most days I do nothing, watch TV play iPad games mostly, struggle to bother with meals, lunch has virtually been cancelled, as I don’t get up till 1-2pm, then have a late breakfast, my two Weetabix. I don’t hear much from family, see them even less, their lives seem so busy and full, whereas I have nothing at all to fill my day. I know my children are grieving also, but with their active lives, they have many distractions. I a, surrounded by memories of Linda, which is comforting and also very sad.
I get the usual “ you’re doing really well” or “ I’m sure things will soon get better” messages, which I know are well meaning, but do nothing for my mood.
But today, my eldest daughter burst into tears getting a slow cooker out, as it had so many memories of her Mum. Then she sent me this message “
So much harder for u - its every moment of every day when u live together. ..” a simple one line message but made me cry, it felt like she actually does realise, how can something so simple bring so
uch comfort. Suddenly don’t feel so abandoned
