i poted this time last year that i had lost my mum very suddenly. i thought i'd be ok today, but have fallen apart in work and have come home to have a good cry....

life has been so wierd this last year...it has passed so very quickly, and yet certain times are suspended in slow motion and i can remember them minute by minute....

i know sadly there are too many people here who know the pain of losing a loved one, but i wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to those who have ever answered my threads....

i feel its important to stress in the light of all the odd trolly type calling and goings on on mn in the past few days that sometimes (as many of us know), in the darkest hour, people post, as inappropriate or unbelievable as it may seem, because they simply don't have the rl support available, or like me, am too proud to fall apart in public.

so. thanks again. your kind words have always been really appreciated. x

Bless you, that's a hard anniversary. I'm so glad you found support here.

Hope you're being kind to yourself tonight.

I think the 1st anniversary is tough, take care of yourself

chimchar i am thinking of you today. Look after yourself.

I lost my darling Mum in April, she was 49 and i was so not ready, she was my best friend and i am still feeling very lost.

Chimchar, yes I remember your threads all too well I'm afraid too say. I too lost my dad almost a year ago (12th July). This time last year was so raw and painful and here we are a year down the line still dealing with it - I've come to the conclusion that it's something I myself never come to terms with. Take Care of yourself.

thanks girls...

i went to work, lost the plot, cried buckets and came home!

had a really peaceful day and a big sleep last night...i feel better today. i think yesterday really took me by surprise. i was anxious that it might be hard, but it just took over....it probably doesn't help that i was in the same place, doing the same things etc as the day my mum died...it all felt a bit raw tbh.

titsalina..sorry to hear about your mum. please post if you need to...it helps to get those feelings out ime.

oj..hows it going? is your blokey still around? its so lovely to have a happy ending after your sad times...

ana..will be thinking of you on the 12th. be good to yourself. x

dee. thanks.

casserole...i'm sure i remember your post this time last year when i wrote on here about my mum...your words were so kind, and gave me a huge huggy feeling...really. thanks so much. xx
