Hi Gemini39, thank you so much for your reply, I'm so sorry you lost your mum too. It's difficult for some people to understand but you know exactly how it feels. How lucky we both were to have the best mum's and that's what makes it so hard to bear. It would break our mum's hearts to see us so sad; I'm trying to be strong, I know what you mean about the good and bad days....just a day at a time.

I really appreciate your reply, thank you again, sending my best wishes x

Hi Linda,

I completely understand where you are coming from. It's been 3 years since I lost my dad to cancer and sometimes I just feel an urge to weep. You do continue to live but out of nowhere you have a complete adverse reaction to a completely unrelated situation. I do allow myself the odd moment where I will purposefully listen to some of his favourite songs just to have a cry! I know it sounds a little unusual but it helps keep the feelings at bay and stops the outbursts (not that there's anything wrong with that). I don't believe it will ever leave us, but it's more something we work around, I hope you're doing well and staying strong (as hard as it can be)! xx

Thank you G93, very sorry for your loss. I think you're right, not something we ever get over. Learning to live with it, accept what has happened, it is a different life. I'm not quite there yet but hope to be.

Take care x
