Dad's anniversary on Wednesday. Feeling a bit weepy.

[nickytwotimes]

It'll be four years since he died over the course of a week after a string of brain heamorrages, the first of which went undiagnosed.

I am my Mum's only child and we are close. I feel sad she is alone and that my Dad never got to be a Grandpa.

Generally I am fine about it, but at this time of year I feel so sad.

DH and I are under a lot of stress atm too and I feel on the edge of coping iyswim?

No response needed, just need to offload.

You can't help feeling sad. Are you near your mother? I would do something nice with her if you can-otherwise try and do something nice for you and DCs. Think that he would have liked you to have a special day-even if it is only a small treat.

you are bound to feel sad as the date draws nearer, can you do something with your mum?

Thanks.
Yes, me and Mum will do something together.
Ds might come. He is a toddler though and tbh though he is often a welcome distraction, I would like to just be on my own with her. Ds normally goes out with his other Grandparents on Wednesdays.
I was looking at my calendar and realised I have to have a filling tomorrow. Poor timing.

I feel for you. Are you also feeling like you be getting more support from your DH? Be kind to yourself. x

Just wanted to say how sorry I am.

I lost my dad 5 weeks ago, and am an only child also. I think the guilt and sadness I feel for my Mum being alone is like twice the grief.

It's hard isn't it?

I hope that you managed to make it a bit special.

I hope today was as bearable as possible. It's not easy x
