My beautiful, funny, positive mother died extremely unexpectedly a few weeks ago and we are all reeling from the shock of it. How do you ever get over the loss of a mother? My two brother’s and I are now orphans and it’s made me feel extremely untethered. We’ve all been able to do very little but sit and grieve. The loss feels enormous and I just feel heavy. Heavy heart, head, legs. It’s quite hard to get up and on with everything that there is to organise – not to mention the funeral tomorrow and her “after life party” as we’ve decided to call it. I’m feeling emotional and very stressed. It’s not right to be organising a massive event that you really don’t want to attend.
Anyway, I’m sure we will all do her proud tomorrow and maybe after the funeral, there will be time to breathe.
Anyway, I’m writing this because I’ve got a tiny window of space as I wait for a booze delivery and before my brothers’ and children all congregate back at my nest to commiserate all together and I have to keep busy!
She was so much part of our family, despite being tiny in stature, she has left an enormous hole in our lives.
