Been a very hard year. Lost my dad in February had the funeral in May. End of September 2024 lost my mum. Finding it too much!!! They weren’t that old. I have 2 brothers. I feel so lonely though i was very close to them.
I’m so sorry for your loss @Laura11, no wonder you feel so lonely with the loss of such special people. Life is so cruel sometimes. Would grief counselling help you d’you think? I wonder if you have close friends and family you’re able to be with and talk to? Although they’re no longer physically with you, your Mum and Dad will always be in your heart and it sounds as though you shared some very special times with them. Keep being kind to yourself and I’m sending you lots of

Hi Laura11
It is a bright sunny day today after all the rain.
I felt the grass to see if it had dried up but was a bit damp or would have mowed the grass which is a bit long.
A lonely day today. I could have gone to a tea and toast gathering early on for company but I thought no I will stick it out because it is my COVID jab tomorrow afternoon so don’t want to compromise myself before I am protected. Different if it was really worth it but it isn’t. I don’t want to catch COVID because I already have reduced energy.
I am going to see my parents’ new headstone tomorrow and put flowers in the new integral vase. My son is taking me. So at least it is something to look forward to.
I have wanted to get it sorted for a long time. Took me a lot of effort.
Their photos are on it which is what I wanted. Didn’t want them to be forgotten.
My brother was quite rude about it not very good with just a wooden cross so he won’t be able to say that now. I will take a photo and send it to him. Hope you feel less lonely soon xx
