Hey @Sunnyside226 I can’t stay because I’ve got dinner and kids to sort out but I just wanted to ask what connection you have to the river? If you don’t have one, find one, water is healing for me, I’ve also lost both of my parents too mate

@Zoe7 I miss my mum every day just like @Sunnyside226 Time doesn’t make it easier just makes you wiser, you learn to cope with it better, always there even in the background.
It’s hard especially around big milestones

No timeline and it fluctuates and it’s a funny thing because it’s so different…. I probably spent the first 6-12 months of my mum passing away in shock and almost then it all hit me, different feeling that all mixed that made no sense in combination resentment, guilt, all of it, it’s such a journey for different people @Zoe7 even between the way I grieved for my dad and the way I did for my mum….

Re: Support for Flowerlove22
Yeah it is hard and we do grieve for different people in different ways @ArraDreaming ...and no way is right or wrong nor timelines set. It can also hit you in different ways and often when least expected. 😒
