Morning friends
It's so good to have somewhere to come to again, it's been strange the last few weeks without everyone around.
Well, I've had a good sleep so am a little more with it today but getting a bit worried about the lack of energy I seem to have nowadays. It could be stress but it seems to be on a daily basis now and while on holiday, I was exhausted just doing all the usual touristy things and walking around. Each day I was falling fast asleep during the afternoon and it's not like me at all. Have any of you experienced this?
Being away has shown me how much I am not myself at the moment, my heart was just not in it and Dad was constantly on my mind. He would always want to know all about my time away when I got back and I miss being able to tell him all about it. I don't know, maybe this tiredness is all just part of the grief and I'm worrying too much. Nothing new there then!
Em - thank you so much for starting this new thread. I am finding it so hard to deal with all of Dad's stuff too. Maybe we just need to do a little bit at a time, when we feel able to. It's tough to know where to start though isn't it? x
Mel - hun, the guilt is a huge part of grief, especially to begin with. You so deserve a holiday and although I know what you are saying, about it feeling disloyal, you know deep down that it isn't and that your Mum would want you to have some time away with your lovely hubby and kiddies right now x
Helen - hope you are going to keep popping your head in now and again mate, we miss you on here. You need to get that whip of yours out to keep us all in check! x
Jac - I know we haven't posted to each other much but I know how hard things are for you right now and wanted to let you know that you and your family have been in my thoughts. I hope that you feel able to join us again so that we can support you the way you have given support to so many in the past x
Cath - hope you are doing ok, we haven't spoken for a while. Loved the picture of you and your Dad together. Good luck with the run, I'm doing mine in just over three weeks and haven't even started training yet! x
Den - it's good to see you here. Hope all is going ok with the little one x
Wendy - I hope that right now, you have your feet up watching trashy daytime tv with a huge box of choccies by your side. It's only natural to be feeling scared hun but you will be fine and the rest of us mummies are here to ease any of your worries and I just know you will be a fantastic mummy. Speak soon x
Nic - happy shopping for later, you can't beat a bit of retail therapy x
Lesley, Dawn - Good to see you both around again x
Heidi - hi again. Hope you will join us from time to time, we don't bite, honest! x
Bern - you recovered from the flight yet? Where is you, we want to here all about your trip x
Right, I'm off to tackle the mountain of washing that is waiting for me. Will pop in again later on.
Love to all X
