Hi my dear Mum,
How are you?
Everything still seems to be moving at 100 miles per hour the whole time.
11th November was a difficult day. I know the focus was meant to be on those lost in the war and I did have thoughts for them but for me, it was your fight starting 3 years before on that day and the loss of you now.
There’s been a lot to get through recently without you.
Mike had a heart scan in London last Friday to see whether there have been any changes but no news so far, which is good.
After a lot of heartache over Dad and a new lady, I agreed to meet her, Vics and Beth really struggled and then Dad turns up and says it’s over anyway! Maybe next time Dad will think about being a Dad first and put the needs of his children before his own…..we’ll see.
The girls all had parties last weekend, I know that’s how it’s going to be now! They’ve got more this weekend as well π.
I’m taking Grandma shopping tomorrow, should be interesting π, she wants new bras Mum, I’ve got to take her to be measured.
She won’t let me wash her clothes but I don’t see the point in falling out with her over it, it’s her choice.
I just like things clean, you know me hee hee.
I had my counselling this week for the first time in 7 weeks!
We were talking about how I feel like everything constantly moves at a really fast pace and I am always trying to catch up.
I know I have always been busy but it seems worse since i lost you.
My session was really helpful, I talked about how much I miss you and how much I am still struggling with losing you.
My counsellor was talking to me about a person going into panic mode when something happens to someone close to them and the fear of loss changes their coping mechanism.
She thinks I am still in panic mode, especially with Mike and his heart scan and that I am trying to do everything, which of course isn’t possible, which of course, leaves me in panic mode.
Basically, I need to ask for help more and tell people how I’m feeling.
Two things I’m really not good at!!
I just need to work on it and then maybe things won’t be so overwhelming all the time.
I think I used to talk to you about it all, without you, I’m not really talking to anyone….
I miss you terribly Mum and that seems to be growing with Christmas getting closer.
Speak soon
I love you
Love
Me xxx
