    Today would have been mum's birthday and Monday will be anniversary of her death. I miss her every day but especially today.
    A bit of a tough weekend.trying to keep busy with different things but hard to settle my mind to them.

    Huge hugs, lovely lady
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I got through mum's birthday and finished the day with a half glass of wine , stuffing myself with nibbles. (My eating has got out of control and i have a stone on since starting my new meds)
    Yesterday I took my daughter shoe shopping for her formal. Paula you would love them, they are pale pink (nude) and glitter/sparkles!! I have kept really busy all day yesterday and plan to do the same today yet I'm finding it a bit hard to be bothered with normal stuff like cooking dinner (yet I'd bake a cake??) Don't get it but anyway, they are all old enough to fend for themselves! The thought of tomorrow fills me with dread. It's 5 years since we lost mum yet today I feel like a frightened lost little girl again. I know that sounds stupid when i have an amazing husband and kids but remembering losing mum is breaking my heart all over again. I wish I could find my strength again to be the 'tackle anything' woman I was before her death and my health falling apart. Sorry i know I'm whingeing and i don't mean to. I just feel a bit lost.

    We never really stop grieving for those we love, we just learn how to deal with it as well as we can. Take it minute by minute tomorrow if you need to and lean on A. He loves you and will want to support you.

    You need to be kind to yourself. Each year when it's the anniversary of my Dad's passing I remember and it hurts. It was 11 years ago this year and as always I sent a whatsapp message to my siblings "Thinking of you guys today. I know it's hard." and called my Mum as always, and yet not one of them had remembered... But I did. I remembered. It does get easier, but for me it'll always be there...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    You’re not whingeing, love, you’re grieving.
    Re the weight gain, is it worth getting low cal snacks in? If I d that helps keep the weight gain to a minimum, even if it doesn’t keep it completely down. Your priority has to be your mental health, and taking the meds, but I know it doesn’t help your mood when a few lbs go on.
    Pink glitter? Beautiful!

    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.
