So young bless her 
I know, it’ll be a gradual thing for her. So difficult to know, she doesn’t know how bad it’s been, her little smiling face.

You will have lots of stories to tell her about her dad.

The thought of the stories we won’t have is so painful.

I hope you are as well as can be @Matt1 and @Seester . Had a rough week last week but back at work now and grateful for the distraction. X
Do you worry about it getting damaged or lost?
Glad you’re a bit better this week. I have been a bit so far, mainly because of work. At any moment I’m a glass half full half empty. Mostly half empty if I’m honest. I don’t believe in happiness anymore.

Glad work is helping you and hopefully with time you will find happiness in life again. It’s hard to imagine that at the moment though.

Makes me feel guilty in a way

It will happen without you feeling guilty. It took me a while after losing my dad and brother but I had more good days than bad and I know they wouldn’t have wanted me to be unhappy. back to those bad days again with my son but I know in time I will be able to talk about him without breaking down.
I woke up this morning and burst out crying. I felt like he was leaving me all over again. I don’t know why.

It hits you like that… Just comes out of nowhere. It’s still so raw.
How have you been today?
Today was better than yesterday as I had to enquire about a plot for my son’s ashes and had to collect them after work so it was all a bit much. Broke down at work but people were understanding.
How about your day… I know you said you hadn’t had a good morning. Have you got a supportive work place?
I’m working from home since I started a new job recently. They know but don’t really know. Sorry you were upset, we haven’t got the ashes just yet, will be hard to know we have them.

Would you prefer to be working with others or more comfortable working from home?
Do you have anyone with you for support?
I have my oldest son here…he works from home too 4/5 days and hasn’t really told anyone apart from his manager and a few close friends -he’s very private and prefers his own space.
I wasn’t going to have my son’s ashes at home but it’s going to take a while to have a head stone engraved and arrange the interment so I’d rather have him with me until then.
just haven’t told my eldest as I worry how he might react.
I’d probably prefer to be at home as I can take breaks.
My wife is here. She helps me when I cry, but she can only imagine the pain.
