Nearly 8 weeks since mum died

Why on a beautiful sunny day does it feel worse that mum is not here. I've had some ok days with no tears but then you feel that you go backwards and I still can't believe that she's not here. When I was sitting at the computer yesterday, one of the lights flickered, I was on this site at the time, maybe it was mum saying, spending too much time on the laptop!

My dad says he's coping ok and he keeps himself busy in the garden and we went shopping together yesterday; I think the reason it's so hard to bear is also seeing him alone.

I carry mum's order of service with me at work, we had a slideshow of memories and it includes some of the photo's, she looked so beautiful, at every age, everyone says what a beauty she was, but they must also think I'm crazy carrying it around.

Not really sure why I'm posting today, I just feel so sad and miss my mum so much and now can't stop the tears, sorry I know I should be better but sometimes its just hard.

  • Hi. Sometimes the beautiful sunny days can be just as hard as the cloudy rainy ones. The pain doesn't seem to always follow any kind of predictability. 

    Today is exactly 6 months that I lost my mum. I am in Hawaii on vacation, and every day I think about her.  I'm in paradise, and I choke up at least once a day. Thankfully I haven't had a proper bawling my eyes out session since I've been here! But I'm still just as sad thinking about her here with the amazing weather as I was at home in the grey miserable cold weather. 

    Take care xx
