My DFather died in mid-January and this week seems to have really floored me. It started with THE most vivid dream on Thursday night/v early Fri morning. He just appeared in this completely surreal dream and kept popping up smiling broadly in random points in it ( i knew he was dead itswim but was making a sort of reappearance0 ...in my dream my mum was driving away and i kept saying "but what about Daddy ?" and she said she needed to move on and leave him behind as he had gone...Not in a horrible way and I woke up crying and couldnt stop for quite some time which I havent really done much. The tears have just been really close to the surface since then. Find it difficult to verbalise to anyone in RL as I just cry and can't talk...

I know you lot all know what it feels like unfortunately...

I also feel so sad for my mum tomorrow as none of us can be there she lives a long way away and I know it will be a pianfully quiet day.

She is master of a brave face and we both avoid tricky subjects on the phone...

Anyhow just need to share...
Thanks for listening Smile

Thanks for thinking of me it really helps. After having a glass of wine last night confided to DH that I was having a tough few days and he was lovely. I am normally a 'coper' so don't readily cry etc in front of anyone else ...but as usual he was lovely and just told me it was all Ok to feel that and it was so natural...
Had a really lovely family day today and have felt much calmer and settled.

Thankyou so much for checking back in - it means a lot Smile
