Morning Liz
How are you? Well, your weeks nearly over, it sounds like it didn’t go entirely as planned, but I'm glad you resisted going into work. The shopping trip was another step forward, especially going into John Lewis, very hard to do, but its done now and maybe sometime in the future you will find it not quite so hard now you’ve taken the initial step and done it once. It doesn’t matter that you sat in the coffee shop a lot of the time, at least you were out and in the place where you and your Mum used to go, and she would be pleased that you’ve moved forward a little. It is a tough journey Liz isn't it. I have to admit that yesterday after coming on here and finding no one about, I went and sat on the bed, just sitting looking out into mums back garden watching it rain and thinking about things, then cried loads again. I just don’t understand why all this has happened, I can't seem to get my head round it some days. I was trying to put myself in mums position when she was in the hospice and going through everything she must have been thinking, just knowing she didn’t have long left. It upsets me so much, the little things she said some days and how her mind was working. She was just trying to get things in order for us to make it easier when she’d gone. Still putting herself last right till the end, she was just so kind. I'm crying again now, I suppose this is one of my down days again, it’s starting to get on my nerves that I can't control how I feel from one minute to the next, I feel like somethings taken over my mental state sometimes. I guess its normal and we all feel the same.
Thank you for saying I'm a positive person Liz, I do try to look forward and I know that’s what Mum wanted me to do, ‘just carry on’, as she said. My husband thinks I'm a really strong person, if only he knew how much I cry some days.
