I understand @Pepsimax. I lost my beautiful mother 16 years ago. Time does heal .... the pain will subside ..... but it takes quite a while.
I found it helped my grieving process to celebrate her life. I cook the special foods I associate with her ..... I buy her favourite flowers sometimes and put them in a vase in my kitchen ...... I go by myself to a coffee shop and other places I would have liked to have taken her to .... or go and see a movie or art exhibition that we would have gone to together.
I mark her sp coal occasions with my family .... her birthday and the anniversary of her passing ..... I choose to celebrate her that day and make preparations for that in the days before when otherwise I might be feeling really down. It's not that the feelings aren't still there ..... time and distraction help to take tha sharp edge off them.

Re: Can someone help me
Hey @Pepsimax. Sounds like you have some really nice plans for Monday.
What colour/pattern would you like for a doona cover? I love making my bed feel special and nice 🙂
My day was so busy. We left at 8:45 this morning and finished at 4:30. Lots of driving backwards and forwards but all the LF got to do their special things so it was worth it. After dinner, groceries, dishes etc, I'm only really just sitting down now and about to watch a movie with them all.
How was your day?
@Faith-and-Hope💗🌻🌹
