I have never really grieved for my mum in the 7years + since she died. I felt at the time i had to be strong to support my dad and sister through their grief, and by the time I felt it was my turn I couldn't do it. I'd bottled everything up for so long that there was no letting go any more. Apart from the interrment of her ashes I have only visited the grave once, and again felt I couldn't show any emotion because I was there with my dad. Tomorrow I'm going to go on my own. Just gonna jump on the bike and ride up there to talk, sit, cry maybe, whatever comes at the time. I know I need to grieve, and if this helps me to do it and put things behind me then even better. I'll let you know how I get on in my journal tomorrow.

I will be looking forward to reading your journal.
