Hi everyone,
I have just stumbled upon this website. I was advised to look for a support network by a dear friend who feels I could do with some advice.
I lost my dear Mum almost 4 years ago now and at the time I felt as if I was coping with it very well. My children were very small and I was strong for them and my Mum's partner. Somewhere in losing this wonderful person I think I forgot to grieve and I am now finding I am over protective of my children, cynical and very bitter. She was fabulous, so warm and funny and I still miss speaking to her everyday. I feel the tears rising everytime I think of her although I love to talk about her. I would love to feel that I had moved on even a little bit but I don't know how. Any advice? Daisy :-)

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Sooner or later some kind of event or reminder will surface and cause a flood of memories and tears racing back.
When in that situation, one needs to process through their feelings and emotions by talking with others. This will help to sort things out and reduce the problem.
Let your family know what is going on so that they can support and help you.
Recognize your feelings when you have them, acknowledge their validity, then try to release them. It is a learned discipline, but after daily practice, it becomes easier to rid yourself of the negative, and replace it with the positive. Huggs, Rainbow
