It's been 2wks since she's been gone.

Tomorrow will mark the second Sunday since my best friend has passed. It all still feels so surreal.  Am I stupid,  I still text her.... It helps me through....Today her husband visited me,  what can I say to him,  how can I make it easy.  I do my best.  I'm given jewellery I bought her,  back her daughter doesn't want it, she won't wear it she says... I thought she'd keep it as a a keep sake,  her mother loved her tiffany bracelet.  She could have given to her granddaughter when she came of age.  Something to say this was your nans,  you were to little to remember her but we have photos of her holding you wearing  it.  I have it now,  I'll put it in my memory box.  I'll treasure it instead. I miss her. She would want me to carry on enjoy life,  smile. I will do my best.  It's hard.  But I will try.  I'll find one thing  at least to smile about,  a genuine happy smile.  

  • Hi Leanne, 

    I'm sorry to hear it's been 2 weeks since your best friend passed away and that your friend's daughter didn't want to keep the tiffany bracelet that you bought for her mum. Try not to take it personally if you can, it may just be a bit too much for her to handle at the moment and she may have thought you might like it back so you have something to remember her by and the good times you had together.

    It will be hard but like you say she would want you to carry on and enjoy life and I'm sure she'd be happy to know that you will be finding something to smile about each day.

    Best Wishes,

  • I think her daughter is having her own issues etc so I had the bracelet.  I'm letting it go... Her and Karen were different that way.  So I ordered some Christmas decorations.  Karen loved  Christmas.  Friday I break up from school,  I teach.  I'm going to have a meal with my mom (normally it would be with Karen)I'll order desert,  I never do,  Karen did . I'll smile and eat it for her.  I miss her so much
