How’s your Day Going Today?

We have had a bit here too John.

Take care, hope your eye is better. My grandaughter suffers with blepharitis, looks really red and sore.

Good morning, we had a heavy fall of snow overnight so I won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Today I am going to make a start on Rays clothes that are still in our wardrobe, he would be cross with me for not doing it sooner. Hope you all have the best day you can.

I’m feeling the same today but made myself get out of bed and put some washing in.
Chased the cat round the house trying to groom him. Brought the bins up the drive. Burnt my toast twice so grappled with the toaster and there must have been 8 years worth of crumbs stuck in there. So five things I’ve done since getting up. Tick….!!!
I don’t like this month and never have I just think it’s a depressing time after Xmas etc and more so now..
I’m going to force myself out in this beautiful cold weather for a walk as I’m sure it’ll make me feel more positive.
Maybe if you take a walk and we can compare our feelings when we get back..
What do you think.?

Do you think you should see your GP.
The surgery might have contact with bereavement counselling.
Just a thought, not putting any pressure on you.

Did you manage to get out to the shop.?
Going there you at least see people which is better than not seeing anyone at all.
I walked for around half an hour and it was lovely hearing the birds.
It does take your mind off our problems and sadness if only for a little while..

You’re right. It takes TIME. My husband died nearly a year ago and I’m still crying most days and MISS him dreadfully.

Be kind to yourself. Everyone’s grief is their own personal journey. Just know that at some point you will feel like you are coping slightly better. You are still very early in your journey. Just try and do something every day to build your confidence. I was with andrew 35 yrs I met him at 18 I have never been on my own I left my parents and moved in with andrew. I still dont like being alone and I miss him every single day but you can get there.

At least you walked to the local shop so that’s a tick..
You made a huge effort doing that so pat yourself on the back.
Maybe tomorrow you could try and venture a bit further, if you can’t then it doesn’t matter because maybe the day after you will.
It’s just pushing yourself even though you absolutely don’t want to and really just want to cry but you can cry whilst walking or sitting on a bench in the park whilst watching things going on around you.
I’ve done it and you can guarantee lots of others on here have as well.
If you are crying so much make sure you drink lots of water and it might help your headache.
Tomorrow is another day..:heart_hands:

I hope you don’t mind me saying but please don’t tell people not to go to gravestone’s etc. Some people may find it comforting and a place where they feel close to their loved one’s. We all have different belief’s and it’s a personal choice how people decide to grieve. Not everyone has the same beliefs about death and the afterlife

Well said.
We all have our own ways of dealing with grief. Whatever works is right for that person.

I know I will NEVER see Jackie again. I visit her gravestone to pay my respects and shed a tear or two.
