Hi there lynne ...so sorry you've lost your mum and so quickly .. 7 weeks is hardly time to get your head around it ... the way I coped when my mum went suddenly and it took a fare while to come to terms with it .. but I realised my mum would break her heart to see us all so upset and she would have been the first to tell us to start living life and remember her with a smile and think of all the happy times we had .. so I thought it was time to make her proud and carry on the loving things she did for so many people ...
I still look up in the sky before I sleep to say night night to her , and tell her how her grandsons are doing ... I still have a few tears but then just for a few minutes... make myself picture her smile and remember her laugh ... till I find my self smiling again ... I just believe we were blessed to have had them in our lives .. a saying I love is "don't cry because you loose someone... smile because you were blessed to have had them in your life " ... I'm sure your mum wouldn't want to see you all so sad ... so sending you a big hug ...chrisie xx
