I went to bed at 9 tonight shattered as usual, gave up at midnight and here I am! Tuned in to Mumsnet for some company and for the first time I have looked at the sleep section. It all seems to be about sleep problems for children! What about me, us, you out there? I am 52 yrs old with 6 yr old triplets, I am permanently exhausted yet most nights find it hard to get to sleep, then when I do I wake up two or three times during the night, and its not usually the children who wake me. The truth is my mind hardly ever switches off, and I find bedtime the hardest time when I miss Matthew my son who died, I am so fed up with grief, so hate him not being here, so miss him, miss him so very very much. Everything triggers it off again, especially seeing things like the pain on Gloria Hunnifords face at her daughters funeral, thats such a very hard day to get through, so awful. I am sorry everyone, I am rambling, need a good friend here tonight to talk to, but thank God for all you Mumsnetters, at least I know that you are all out there and that you care........night night.
