Sorry but I'm having a bad day and I just need to let it out. I woke up feeling like I've had no sleep and really down. Mum's been bad this week - a lot of pain and, I think, sliding into depression - so I'm in overdrive on worrying about her. My sister is with her today so I don't need to go round to see mum although I probably will drop round later. I thought I would throw myself into cleaning the house so make myself busy and then I'd start to feel better. My fatal mistake was asking my 18 year old daughter to help. She had a major strop. I tried to keep calm as I realise that she is worrying about my mum too but it was hard. I tried to talk to her but she just got worse and worse so I gave up. Then my husband made sarcastic comments about it all - again he is worrying and his mum is also not well - so I am still trying to keep a lid on it. But I feel even worse now. I'm now sitting on the sofa in my pyjama's watching old episodes of Grey's Anatomy without the will to do anything else. I just keep crying and feel so very very sad.

I want to say somnething to each of you, to offer you something to help but I just can't think of anything. So all I can offer is a hug to each of you, albeit virtual.

Elenium,

You probably realise that a virtual hug can be just what's needed sometimes. It makes you feel like someone cares about you.

I did get some positive news today. The Deed of Renunciation has been duly signed by wimpy son & returned to the solicitors. I received the paperwork today that allows me to apply for Grant of Administration. I know I've been waiting for this, but have decided to put it to one side till I get back from Essex. AT, I'm going to Braintree with a stop in Silver End to have dinner with my best friend & her hubby. Liz isn't home from work till after 9pm so I'll go there once she's home.

Hugs to All

Elenium, that means so much. Hug to you too.

Take a deep breath ... then on with the day.

I feel a bit better. Although I did fall asleep on the sofa for 4 hours this afternoon. I only woke up about 20 minutes ago, it's nearly 8.30pm! I hope I sleep tonight.

Hugs to all

Im feeling quite desparate. This feeling is getting worse and my space and others acceptance or accommodation to grieve in whatever way it comes out is smaller. Partner isnt being great. So terribly lonely and very lost. I simply want my mum.
