Three months on from disruption

[topcat2014]

Firstly, very best wishes to all adopters this Christmas, I am rooting for you.

Sadly, I am three months on from a disruption. I can kind of manage day to day, but life feels a bit numb. Not really looking forward to Christmas, although all the elements are there for dd.

I am having counselling which is helping a little.

Sadly, I don't think my life will go back to how it was.

I am so proud of all you others!

I am sorry, Topcat. Has counselling helped you?

I think that's the things with grief is that life is forever changed. You're perfectly entitled to grieve for the future. Please try to be kind to yourself.

It must be a very difficult time of year for you all . It is early days and your grief is palpable. I find Christmas to be a very poignant time of year anyway and it always intensifies any feelings of loss imo. I suppose the thing with grief is that it changes things forever but in time you find some kind of new normal going forward.
I really hope you are able to take a break from routine and take time to relax and recharge at least a little bit.
I wish you nothing but good things for the year ahead and hope you have as good a Christmas as you possibly can .

Thanks @dark it is nice to hear from you. Counselling is helping a bit but I am trying not to build it up too much iyswim

_xXxX xXxX thinking of you.

I’ve been trying to think of something helpful to say since I read your post first thing. I’ve got nothing but just wanted you to know am thinking of you. I can’t imagine how tough these last few months have been.

Thinking of you topcat. This time of year must be especially difficult. Be kind to yourself.

Thinking of you at this really hard time. No words I can say can bring comfort but please know we all stand here in support of you wishing you the best Xmas you can manage this year and sending you our love xx

Completely feel for you @topcat2014. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas. I imagine there will pangs of sadness and regret but hope you can enjoy the time off/time with your family and I’m wishing you a more hopeful new year x
