Hi Rachel
How are you? How has your day been? Went to Mum’s flat this afternoon to start sorting things out and found it very difficult. So many memories and so many little knick-knacks and ornaments. Every one with a story behind it. As my husband often says it is so hard now because it was so good before.
I have booked myself in for a zoom yoga class this evening, which is meant to be calming and restorative - I could certainly do with some of that. Do you do any classes or sport? I was always saying I wanted to do more things and now I have all the time in the world - and I don’t want it!! Its very hard when our Mum’s have been such a huge part of our lives. It leaves a very large, empty space. I don’t have any family members up here in Yorkshire and the ones that could come and visit can’t come because of Covid, so that makes it all harder doesn’t it. But I have been getting a lot of support from friends but it is difficult to meet up and I would love a proper hug!! I heard upsetting news yesterday that all my friends and colleagues where I used to work are under threat of redundancy. Our whole unit is being closed down to save money. I least I don’t have that to worry about. However I think I could cope with just about anything else because it doesn’t seem very important when compared to our loss. Anyway I am rambling on as usual. Hope you are ok. You are in my thoughts. Sending love and a big virtual hug.
