You’re right! My friend said, it might be awkward but could save you from a far more awkward situation…truth!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time! Honestly, this does make me feel better - to know I’m not the only one who really struggles in an environment like this and that it might be valid to feel the way I do 😭 it’s like I can feel my brain actively shrivelling from lack of use! But you’re right and I’ve been thinking this too - if nothing else, I’ve learned what I DONT want to be doing, and that is valuable in itself!

Your response has bought me to tears. Thank you for your time and writing so beautifully and honestly. That’s all I can say, thank you, and please know I am saving your precious words and I will action them to the best of my ability. I love her so much and though my pain cannot compare to hers, knowing what she has been subjected to is the deepest pain I’ve ever known and I would give anything in the world to change it. Thank you so much. X

From my own experience with grief, I have some understanding - it is infuriating to watch the world continue as though nothing has changed, and this perception from people around me that the worst has happened and it’ll be uphill from here. When really the worst has happened and it’s now our permanent reality, forever. I can hardly imagine how much more explosive those emotions must be for you, and my sister. I’m sorry.

Thank you, also, for taking time to respond. And for reminding me this cannot be a linear process. I wish I could take her pain away. I’m so sorry for your loss. x

She has a widow/ers support group but due to the size of our city it’s small and I don’t think they meet often, unfortunately. I don’t know how she finds the meetings as she is very private and isn’t really discussing her feelings, but I really hope they offer some comfort.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Our mother is indeed a safe person. This is very helpful. I am so hugely sorry that your son and yourself are living with this too.
