Sorry but I'm having a bad day and I just need to let it out. Â I woke up feeling like I've had no sleep and really down. Â 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. Â My sister is with her today so I don't need to go round to see mum although I probably will drop round later. Â I thought I would throw myself into cleaning the house so make myself busy and then I'd start to feel better. Â My fatal mistake was asking my 18 year old daughter to help. Â She had a major strop. Â I tried to keep calm as I realise that she is worrying about my mum too but it was hard. Â I tried to talk to her but she just got worse and worse so I gave up. Â 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. Â But I feel even worse now. Â 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. Â I just keep crying and feel so very very sad.Â
Thank you MM and to all in this site, tough days these with a gaping hole in all our livesÂ
Sending peaceful wishes to all of you tonightÂ
Hello all,
I hope it hasn't been too awful for you all. Â I've been a bit tearful a few times. Â We've raised a glass to mum and talked about happy memories. Â I'm glad that we did something different this year.
I've been thinking of you all today.
Sending you all much love and hugs.

Took all my Christmas decorations down yesterday. Just wanted them gone. Â I'm glad of the time off work but have had zero Christmas spirit. Glad this first is over. Â Next is the anniversary. Â I've booked the day off work. Â Been thinking of you all over this time.
Hugs to all.

It’s almost a year since I lost jill I can’t believe it it still hurts like a cut that won’t stop bleedingÂ
Tree still up as it’s got gifts under for youngest to open on New Year’s DayÂ
My boys and I will be together at 00:22 in the morning of the second of January with all the painful memories in our heads and the sorrow still breaking our already shattered heartsÂ
Hate itÂ
Yantibee. Hello. Where did the year go, it seems not so long ago but equally like 10 years ago when i heard her voice. I will think of you on 2nd. Have you resolved the party issue falling on such a day for you? I do still think of us all, actually, probably daily. Life has been v stressful, dog had another major op yesterday and i flooded 3 floors of our house. Stress, grief, sadness, depression although im a functioning person with all of this, at work few would know. Will the act be real eventually. Look forward to your youngest being there and as you have so far be there for each other. Im sorry it all ever happened. Really.
Always Remember the Precious Moments x
