Having a bad day

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. 

  • Dear All, Ive missed you, all posts now go into Spam, the computer thinks there is a virus as I helpfully supported someone in another group discussion some months back, and this particular group are amazingly supportive of each other but in a week there have been over 600 emails between them but I can't work out how to not get their updates but to get these in 'our' open group.  So. love to all and Ive not gone anywhere although Ive been to a few places. Im building up to scattering mums ashes, nearly there, don't want to but I somehow know its time, well soon..... Do I want to, no, should I, probably,  Some family issues as ever, can't really share on here, jeopardises my anonymous status, but, so many times Ive gone to type my 'real' name. Keep forgetting I have an alias.  Big kisses to my special people xxx

    Seeing my dad cry is heartbreaking.

  • Hi Kirk22 I am so very sorry for your loss. Your dad will be heartbroken as well. Its hard isnt it seeing your dad upset like that as he is probably a strong man but he has lost his soulmate and whilst it is not nice to see it is good that he is crying and not trying to hold it all in. How are you doing? xxxx

    Hi, kirk22 

    Sorry to hear about your mum such a sad time for you all. 

    I lost my mum just over 4wks ago it seems such along time ago now. 

    It is horrible having to organise the funeral I never thought I would have to do that either. 

    Things do get a bit easier. 

    I take comfort in the fact my mum didn’t suffer and she slipped away peacefully in her sleep.

    It’s awful is t it? I can’t quite believe Jill my beloved wife has been gone for 14 months, so much to tell her, so many times I needed her, so lonely at times. Grieving process never seems to end it’s very painful some days. I hope she can see her two sons growing into the fine young men they are, she would be so proud of them, I feel so sad for the boys not having their mum with themÂ
