Sorry to be a kill joy!
My Mum died in January, old, happy and with all her litter around. At the time it was quite a relief that she didn't suffer, over the years we had all wondered how she would go and dreaded finding her at the bottom of the stairs or such like. I remember at the time thinking I had always thought it would hurt more; we were very close. I spent most of the year feeling as though I had got off lightly and there was more to come.
Well it's come! Christmas has completly engulfed me with sadness, I miss my Mum soooo much.
It's a great year for us we have a 2.5 year old who is so excited, we have a new house with all the things we always wanted and I feel terrible.
I can't even wish anyone a happy Christmas without the tears welling up. I just feel grief stricken , almost as though she's only just gone.
On the other hand I am so enjoying not being in a tiny flat and being part of a nice community. All this and of course dh and ds are making it all wonderful but I am finding it hard to hold back the tears.
Sorry if I have put a dampner on things, does anyone else feel this way?
