I have just passed the milestone I was dreading. My mother died a year ago. I was estranged from my sisters. I had no one to talk to in the family. Its been a nightmare.But I went back and put flowers on her grave and talked to 1 sister all weekend and for the first time I see a move forward. We now have a new baby in the family, a wedding coming up and my relationship with this sister has healed a bit.
Sometimes the things that we feel we can't cope with are things that we somehow do cope with when they happen.
It makes me realise though that we ned to appreciate things when we have them. Sometimes I was too busy to phone but what I would give to spend half an hour with her now!

" That is a good lesson. You are lucky - you still have family left, make the most of them. Enjoy them, love them ! I have nobody left on this earth, they have all gone before me. I am glad there are sweet memories.....They keep my going through lonely weekends, Christmas, etc, otherwise I would go insane. "

" Me too, I am only eight months into this grief journey but have just had my first wedding anniversary since he died and I ache to hold him in my arms and tell him how important he is/was to me, how much I love him, and how no other could compare. "
