For Mum
They said it gets easier.
I suppose in a way it does.
Yet in other ways it doesn’t.
It’s all consuming at times.
At other times it’s just beneath the surface.
You push it under.
You have no choice.
Because you have to carry on with life.
Somehow.
Grief.
One word and yet means such different things to each of us.
Some people shut the door on it.
Others openly mourn a loss.
A memory, a day, a song.
And then you break.
You’ve fallen in love, it’s your wedding day, the birth of your child.
You break some more.
“You should have been there!”
“Why didn’t you stay?”
Pointless anger.
Useless grief.
I need you now and you’re not here.
It’s not fair.
Life isn’t fair though.
Almost nine years on and it still feels so raw.
I miss you Mum.
I am sorry that all I can give is a stupid hug on a computer. I hope that from our little chat you know I would give more if we were closer. NO not a snog. xx

Oh sweetheart. Sending you huge huge hugs. Your words made every hair on my body stand on end. I have goosebumps and a lump in my throat for you. Grief is such a cruel emotion. Much love to you xxx

I have a fabulous family so I know I will get through it, however difficult. I hope you have support too. Xx
I was brought up largely by my grandparents and I feel their loss every single day. I don’t think it gets easier; it just gets different. Beautifully written xx

Yes, I think that’s it, it’s just different. Maybe you just learn to deal with it, somehow. Xx
