We have just been to a very close friend's funeral this afternoon, and it brought all the feelings about losing Mum at Easter back to the fore. I feel emotionally drained at the moment. I really didn't think it would be so hard. Makes me realise just what a void is in my life since Mum has gone :-(

Pauline, even tho it's sometimes hard to do think of it as the void you feel now will one day be filled with wonderful memories. Take today as the day you start filling the void both your dear Mum & friend left you with. I'm sure they both would want you to remember their times with you as fond times. Your heart can grieve but your mind can heal.

Love n hugs

Everything is still so very raw to you , love and today has made what is just under the surface come out to the open because you were in a place where your emotions could be set free.

All my love that you have a peaceful nights sleep,

Ah, Caz has put what I was about to say: that it's still very raw for you at the moment.

If you feel like crying, do it Pauline. Let that bottled-up grief out, for your lovely Mum and dear friend.

Pauline, as Glenys said, don't bottle your grief up.

Crying is nothing to be ashamed of.

I lost my father 37yrs ago and my mum 11yrs ago.

I still cry when I go to the cemetery.

Take Care

Pauline, i'm so sorry,
I am not a great "talker" i find it hard to express what i feel, but as others have said, i feel.
my heart goes out to you, i suspect we never get over the feeling of loss, but it becomes less hard to deal with in time.
(((hugs)))))

Awww Pauline it's very early days yet...............take each day as it comes and one day you will remember your Mum with a huge smile and no tears.

I promise you it will get easier.

Thanks for your kind words. I do know that things get easier with time as my dear Dad passed away 20 years ago. I felt that I had been coping pretty well until today. Maybe after a good nights sleep, I'll be back on a more even keel tomorrow. I know life goes on, and that is what Mum and our friend Don would want.

RIP both of you. Miss you more than words can ever say.

I always feel that funerals have a sort of accumulative

affect........each one gets a bit more poignant as all

the other ones come back to mind at the time.

My parents funerals both went by in a blur really.

The clock of grief has no hands but time at times

does heal the wound.

Wishing you well Pauline xx
