So much grief experiences atm, guess it's the trigger for Mental Illness in many cases. Both my 'breakdowns' (long MH admissions) were both after loss (miscarriage and teenage daughter). cPTSD (unfavourable childhood) leaves us with low tolerance to stress I'm told. Poor resilience. Anyway.

I lost my dad 5months ago, and mum two years before that. Lots of sibling rivalry has made it so much harder. I've realised they're not really there for me either. Sobering reality when ya parents die, in a highly disfunctional family, where there's no love - ya on ya own. Well, its actually that or absence. I might be the eldest of six but I think they're all grownups now. I miss the loving family they talk about having. Losing my girl was hardest. The flashbacks and waking nightmares. And oh, the emptiness inside, like a giant open wound that doesn't wanna heal. It hurts. All of it.

Oh my heart feeling for Em and Eve7 atm. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💕
