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
Hello,
I think that people at work thought that I was a miserable old cow before Christmas as I really didn’t have any season al good will going.
They can think what they want, we know the truth of why we are how we are.
Love to all xxxx

Love to you and with you .xxxxxx

Confession, 3 glasses of champagne BUT my rage has been immense.... For a long time. After the last first which wasnt pleasant, some of my rage has disapated. Mum wouldnt want me to rant forever. Im not saying im fine either...just a bit less enraged. I cry whenever it happens which day to day is daily - different strengths. E & J - the anniversary looming is awful... We will be here with arms wide open x

Have been clearing more of mum's stuff - almost at the last of it now. Â I had my music on and the Billie Holiday song we played at mum's funeral came on. Â I started to talk to mum and one of my dogs - who'd been sitting with me the whole time - got up and started crying. Â She kept walking round me in circles. Â I'd like to think that meant mum was with me. I got really upset. Â Just miss her so much.
Elenium
