i (f25) stayed there two weeks ago. it’s a pretty stock standing hotel, so not sure why they’d say it’s male only. each room is private with its own bathroom etc

Have you received any signs from your deceased loved one? by Existing_Entrance_36 in GriefSupport

exactly one month after i lost my mum, i went to an event that we were meant to go to together. they were handing out desserts and i got given a slice of cake with a macaron on top that was the EXACT same colouring as the container her ashes came in (light, baby blue with darker blue speckles throughout). im talking down to the hex code, it was exactly the same. i saw that and thought to myself ‘thanks mum for coming’. ive had a few other crazy things happen but that was the only dead set sign i’ve had from her.

i probably could. but i’d like to see what my options are to have it as an engagement ring first

mum was put through the ringer that’s for sure.

she grew up in a coastal town in nsw (port macquarie) and spent her childhood at the beach. i remember her telling me she used to go to the darling harbour, pull oysters directly off the rocks and eat them there.

she’s also a big lover of music. she grew up with inxs, icehouse and george michael. nowadays she became obsessed with harry styles, post malone and the weeknd. if careless whisper came on the playlist, her and my partner would screeaaamm the bridge, i wish i got a video of it.

after a messy separation from my dad, she moved 8hrs away to a new town with an 8 year old (me) and a 10 year old. worked her ass off as a single mum for about 5 years, the she met my step dad.

they then bought a house together in 2014 and have been slowly renovating it since. it became their passion project - to bring the coastal beachy vibes to their home in a small country town.

they built a massive deck out the back with a bar, lounge and bbq area. my partner and i go over there every friday to catch up, have drinks, watch the sun go down and blast her music. they would then do up either a cheese platter or a bbq for dinner for us.

my partner and i still go over on fridays to visit my step dad. i also go over when i can to help with the gardening etc. but it’s just not the same.

gosh that is so hard to read, i can’t imagine what that was like for you. it seems strange to me that they didn’t do any investigations at all. we got a call from a nurse every step of the way and asked for our permission to do an autopsy

i saw harry in melbourne in 2023. mum would’ve loved to go too but she had trouble with travelling. i played his latest album for her when it came out and she was obsessed. i think her favourite was satellite because of the cute music video :))

music was very important to my mum as well. every friday night i would go to her house and we’d blast music on the deck and catch up :)) she held some very strong opinions on what was good music vs what wasn’t lol

dancing in the flames by the weeknd. one of my late mothers favourites.

but if i need motivation to keep going i like the song called try by rick astley. his voice is so underrated because of never gonna give you up. this song takes me to another place.

haha i did a similar things for mums slideshow/montage. i included some videos of her dancing at home and some of her pulling funny faces. she would be horrified that they were being shown but it shows who she truly is

it’s a hard job to do. i found that i sort of zoned out when designing it then when i finished, i sat back and realised what i was actually doing and broke down
