Back now but still in a bit of a state. I know it's silly and unreasonable but I can't help it. Mum died early hours of Thursday morning and have spent most of the day trying to make all necessary arrangements. Funeral is next Thursday and so will have to disappear once more and face it all again.
Felt so weak and such a fool in the hosp as I kept blubbing and could not stop. Staff were so kind and thoughtful and helpful. Sorry will have to go now as am starting again. Bye.
(((hugs lady-janine))) you can't help it because its perfectly natural to be upset. Please don't hold back your tears or emotions, just let it happen and be gentle on yourself.
Aww that's so sad I'm sorry to hear of your mum passing. Can understand how you feel, don't even consider your crying is weak or that you are a fool, crying is a natural grief reaction and will help you in the long run. Things will get easier but right now is the worst time with how you will feel. Take care of yourself, you will get through it all better than you think. My thoughts are with you, take one day at a time. xx
I'm shocked and saddened by your news, lady-janine. Don't feel a fool for blubbing, hospital staff see that kind of thing all the time. It's their job to make you feel better. Hang on in there, we're all thinking of you.
Awww! sorry to hear your sad news, don't think of her as dead Janine . think of her as a gentle breeze that kisses your cheek as it passes.
My thoughts are with you.
oh lady-janine, im so sorry to hear youve lost your dear ol mum, i cant imagine how you must be feeling. id go to pieces if i lost mine.
its only natural for you to cry, dont think yourself weak or a fool, youve lost a very important person to you, so grief and crying is only to be expected.
i do feel for you, and i send you big hugs at this very sad time for you xx
Thank you everyone for all your kind thoughts and comments and especially the hugs. I really appreciate them all so much.
She had a long and busy life and was so determined to enjoy living. She was a fighter and didn't intend to give up easily but in the end her body said enough. I am very grateful she was not ill for long period but I still feel ashamed for being so weak myself.
Again very many thanks for all your support and friendship. I am so glad to have them.
There is nothing wrong at all in grieving and in public.......
Remember the good times that you had together.
I am not too far away from you and if there is anything that I can do to help you, let me know, such as paperwork here in Truro etc. Just let me know and we will find a way to exchange contact details.....perhaps the Ed may help on this occasion.
Therefore, if the Ed sees this, I give him my pemission to release my e-mail to you.
Thank you all for being so kind and thoughtful. I have found, and am finding all your comments and good wishes so helpful.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind offer DTX but it is helping me to do something and get on with what needs to be done. One day maybe we can meet up and I can explain further but just for now I must just get on with what needs to be done. Enough of me there are a lot more interesting threads to be read and commented on.
