One of those Days.

Today, so far, has been a “Sobbing Day”. It started at about 10.00 am and I have only just finished. It could be that the funeral date was on  the 16th August last year, it could be that it is our son’s Birthday on 15th. It could be that I have kept so busy, that it has all closed in, and have been doing too much. It was so intense, I thought I was going to be sick. When will the loss get easier ? I continually try to work on having a positive mindset, but today it hasn’t worked. Being able to express myself here, helps. It is the only true outlet I have. We have to pretend every where else. I want my man, and I can’t have him. Kate. Xxx

  • I like that one.

    when I'm on the tennis court hitting the balls I feel a little better as I'm the one hitting them if I'm lucky. I see them coming and hopefully return them and a bit of exercise too.

    Today though a crappy day lost some papers I could do with I put them somewhere safe and I can't find them! 

  • That’s a brilliant analogy, and completely true. I managed to “Dodge them”, yesterday. We all went to a BBQ at close friends. I made cocktails for several hours, that helped a lot. Joy Kate. Xxx

  • Ah that sounds like me. Use a couple of Jay's T shirts for PJ tops (big n baggy) and I wear his baseball cap going to the gym (there is quite a collection) and take his small `sweat towel` to the gym with me- when I go. Some of his stuff I still won't get rid of still in drawers. I take both my dad and Jay with me when out and about. I have a small passport size picture of my dad in my phone cover and Jay is round my neck and on my wrist ( wear his bangle and rope bracelet) so they are always with me.

  • Hi Insanity Kate,

    like you I today have had a ‘sobbing Day’ , a month to the date I lost my darling David and I can’t get it out of my mind, he woke up feeling ok, went to Christie’s for his bloods on the 18/7ready for chemo on the 21/7.came home, rest for an afternoon nap but then got up not feeling great and it just spiralled from there then he lost the fight 19/7 in such a traumatic way and I am still reeling from it. We have 3 wonderful grown up sons who are doing their best to do comfort me but I miss him so much. It’s very early days I know but I feel I can come onto this site, express my mood and feelings  without someone saying to me’ ‘ well you’ve just got to get on with it’  I want to say to them ‘if you had the love we had together you might think twice about your choice of words’ this group helps me to deal with things a little better.
