I've 'met' some amazing kindred spirits on here but I have fallen out with twitter as a thing!... so I have decided to leave but will still be blogging & have an instagram site. Love to see you there but no pressure.. grief is pressure enough. ❤️https://t.co/nYko88Vczp
Six years ago today. On a Monday, like today. With dark skies, like today. My mum's funeral. Six years... the cycle of a week has passed in a flash but also it's been an eternity. I can remember thinking I wouldn't be able to get through the day. But you do. Somehow. ❤️
6 years means the week's gone full circle. It's Tuesday. It was a Tuesday when mum died-for that 1st year every Tuesday took my breath away. I threw away all the socks my little boy had that said "Tuesday". The day wasn't to blame,I know.6 years since my world changed forever 💔
Always go to mum's @TheTreeofLifeUK on 23rd December....the last date I saw her...6 years this time. A wild walk in the wind and rain this year. I go alone to just be. No easier, I get it's never going to be now so I'm not waiting for it to be anymore.Happy Christmas Mum.🌼❤️
I have lots of my mum's things in the kitchen- gives me comfort. She got this plate free with flora tokens...last night it got dropped on the floor & broke into pieces. And I sobbed and sobbed (over a free plate!) - felt like some sort of symbol of grief. Never goes away. ❤️
Got mum's book out to make her Christmas Cake (will look better iced! 😂) in her bowl... lots of things making me think of her... 🌈, feathers & robins.. then I went in a local shop & they were selling bilberry tarts...we always had those with my grandad as a child! Comforting❤️
@Lornamedia Happy birthday Lorna! I hadn't realised you had been so unwell. Oh my goodness! So glad you had a lovely day... my friend @EmmaRichardson shares your birth date and we have had similar fab celebrations. X
As I do every year I have been to mum's @TheTreeofLifeUK tree for her birthday ❤️.. this time I wrote my blog there too, in the peace & ☀️

Totally peaceful at my mum's @LifeforaLifeMF tree today... didn't see another person on my walk... just me & my thoughts, the 🌧️ and☀️ ... until the butterflies joined us. 🦋 ❤️
Today the rose we brought from our family home bloomed... & we had white butterflies, a robin and a white feather on our walk. All of this fills my soul because it feels like my mum is around me. ❤️
Agnes Lassalle was murdered by one of her students. At her funeral, her husband responded to the hate that ended the life of his beloved. This is reason we dance.
