Shaun,
I wouldn’t want to know I dont think.
My mum was blissfully unaware and lived her life normally right up to her last day.
You can say the same for yours.
Shaun that’s fantastic news! I’m sure viewing the photos will be bittersweet but lovely to get it back.
There is good in the world x
Oh wow Shaun that is amazing. And those of us that believe in the spirit world will tell you your mum guided you in the direction to find it

When do you think it will sink in properly. I still sit here and go “I can’t believe she died”

You lot are so repetitive with the whole can’t believe she died thing. I’m so glad it’s not just me. I have come to the conclusion that I’ll never think any other way but it’ll just reduce in intensity over time. Those thoughts just keep popping up randomly and I’m fully expecting to still get them in 10 years time.
As for the camera, I almost feel like jumping in the car now to go and get it. At least I have some peace in that department now.
I do the same joules and its been 8 months in 10 days time.
I guess we can ‘believe it’ we just dont want to. I know at some point I believed and accepted my dad had dad so I will do so with mum.
The only thing I can suggest is that it’s still early days and we are reeling from our loss.
My mum was my go to person my whole life. I no longer have one of those x
Will you wait till you next go Shaun? Or can they send it to you?
Isnt it funny that we would choose to go out with a bang and yet we are suffering so much because our mums did exactly that?
I would have hated watching mum decline over months with something that she knew about. Watching her become a shadow of her former self.
And yet I’m so tormented because she went so suddenly, here one minute hone the next.
And yet that’s what we want for ourselves?

Wow Shaun!!! Congrats on finding the camera! Thats a nice bit of news!
Y’all bring up a good point on wanting to know / going out not knowing.
I think … yes to wanting to know. One day, I am sure we will figure out how to delay / reset our cells from self destruction.

Shaun that is excellent news. So wonderful. You will have found that for a reason. What an amazing thing. Really pleased for you x
Yes it is funny to want the very thing that has caused so much torment.
I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that, horrible as it’s been for those left behind, my thoughts have always been that I wanted my mum to have the best life and death as possible. I’ve wanted the best for her, not me.
I know I’m repeating myself but there is never a nice way.
I’m thinking I might like the camera sent by special delivery or something, not sure I can wait until April. Not an easy decision because if it never made it through the post then I don’t know what that would do to me.
Thanks Sam and Ell, it’s nice to have some good news. I can’t wait to see the photos as last time I backed up her memory card was just before Xmas 2018 and another holiday we all went on for Xmas itself so there could be all sorts on there. They will no doubt include photos of the times my daughter spent time round at Grandma’s. It’s going to be quite emotional to see them even though mum probably won’t be featuring in them. Knowing that she took them is quite enough for me. This could be an example of one of those, ‘never give up’ sayings, although in this case I pretty much had already done that, except for the ‘maybe just one more try’ thought.
Of course my urge right now is to run round to mum’s, bang on the door and as soon as she opens it, I’ll say ‘Guess what I’ve found?!’ with a big grin on my face. Except if I do that, then nobody will answer the door. Shame.
Anyway, that’s enough about me, how are you all getting through the week?
Yes of course. You have waited this long.april is just round the corner.
Tell your mom aloud now that you have found it. But she already knows Shaun as you was meant to find it. Treat it as a surprise gift from your mom x
I just did that. Told her it’s coming home safe to me and I’ll look after it. She’s smiling at me from a big photo frame across the room. It’s tinged with sadness though as on holiday she didn’t tell me for several days that she’d lost it because she said I would just moan about it. She was right, I did moan about it because she didn’t tell me sooner, how bad of me. x
I would have done the same shaun. I was always nagging my mum but it was only because I cared
Hello, Shaun,
I am so pleased that your mums camera has been found, wonderful news for a change.
Mary.
Yes, it’s wonderful news that it’s been found.

I think if there’s anything that we would like to be forgiven for then just imagine if we asked them to forgive us would they? And I’m sure the answer would be yes and they would even think twice about it. They would probably be upset that we are even giving it a thought x
I have some guilt about nagging or having a good old moan! If fact its a relief to hear other people mention it. Let’s hope that one day we mostly remember the good stuff.
