Been awake for hours . What is it about waking up at 2 am or 4 am ? Besides Annoying . Dreamt about my Hubby and woke up upset. Still trying to go back and do thinks differently in the hope there would have been a different outcome. Still blaming myself for shutting down. The denial that stopped me getting him to Hospital sooner. Listening to Doctors instead of listening to my own thoughts. The Guilt of . I should have noticed,I should have done more . Asked him how bad things were. Why did he have to pretend he was no worse than usual. Maybe he was just used to feeling so Shite. Asking him now why he didn't tell me what to do? Wishing I could go back to this time last year when he was still here and I might have been able to prevent what happened. I really hate myself sometimes .
Anyway I went on Way up for the 1st time and saw someone had shared a Podcast video with Sarah Bell. I was trying to think of her name when suggesting the people who I found most helpful. She was speaking about the loneliness . We feel even in a crowded room And it really is True. And only those if us who are going through this really get it. And the Anger at what we have lost and can never get back. And seeing couples who still have a life together. I still feel a lot of Anger with myself ,with others and the Universe . I feel robbed of my future ,Our future together. Anyway Sarah Bell is worth a listen to.
Yes, so many questions and not enough answers . I can't even decide what to do with the garden. Well the back isn't a garden at the moment . It's just a small patio. And sharp pebbles and flint all the way down the bottom . With part of the drive down the side of the house . Lacking in motivation.
Those are the two key things, I'm struggling with both today. Only just got myself together enough to take my dog out - too many happy people out there today. I don't want to be this miserable person, really wish I could cheer up and motivate myself more. This afternoon I plan to keep myself busy; we shall see ......
I have had a go at the garage and transplanting a few straggly Sunflowers in between ,always easily distracted . Done more crying than sorting out. Another dog walk and I need a sit down. I know I get really sick of myself being so damn Miserable. It is upsetting seeing families and Happy people in the Park . There should be some Happy pills we could take to help cheer us up if only a little. I haven't laughed properly during the last year and no genuine smiles either. Not at all good company for anyone besides myself. Even keeping busy doesn't stop the brain thinking back to this time last year . We don't choose to be feeling so desolate . Even Sunny days don't really help. Have to go up to see my Sister soon and don't really want to be bothered. She's been to the Seaside where my Hubby wanted to go live. We might have been there ourselves now..that was a bit of a stab in the Heart knowing they are enjoying a day out . It should have been us . Jealousy will get me nowhere. Hoping we can climb out of this dark hole. The Ladies on the Podcasts I listened to this morning have got themselves in a better place ..Wishing the same for Us all .
