Stormybay's Thread a bit of comfort in a hard world

Dustykitten

Hi Stormy I hope you day has been bearable today. I remember my Mum saying that she hated waking up each morning and it hitting her again everyday what had happened. She too used to pretend all day long that he was at work to try to make her days feel more normal. Like the others have said I will always be here to listen/chat be it tomorrow, next month or way in the future. I have subscribed to this thread so if you ever post on it at anytime I will know and look in. Take care lovey DK

Thank you everyone for your lovely words and thoughts, I know I will need these now that the funeral is over and I suppose everyone gets on with their lives, and I guess I'm expected to as well..........if only.

I've had a productive day, I was fed up sitting and thinking, hoping, what ifing etc, so I enlisted the help of DS1 and DD3 and we cleared a load of mess from the back garden and the shed. It took us 4 trips to the tip, but was strangely satisfying. I soaked all my loose cooker bits in the bath with cheapie biological washing powder and vacuumed the whole house.

I decided I was going to go to bed early, but now, s I sit here, I can hardly bear it.

Just been into DD3, she sas she feels ill, and is crying, I think it's all been too much to take in and is over tired and upset, I feel so much for her. I wonder if she's panicing about going back to school. I feel she needs some normality, so we'll see how she goes.......God it's so hard to see her upset

Oh hun my heart goes out to you. Have a hug for you and your daughter. Well done for having a productive day but we're still here for you if you need to talk.

I'm sure the school will be very understanding if you feel she needs to have an extra couple of days to get over things.
You are doing very well.

sorry to hear your DD3 is crying, school tomorrow will feel strange to her no doubt but normality is good, see how she feels in the morning, you have done tremendously well today, always here for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

a few more days wont hurt at home, I'm sure. although as you say normality might help too. she's maybe worried about you too.

Thinking of you all, just popped in to make sure you are ok, nice to see you on the OS board, hope tomorrow goes ok for your daughter.

Stormybay

Yes Dogrose, you may be right, I didn't think of that. I'll go and have a chat with her right now. I know the older ones worry about me but didn't think of the little un.
She say's she's ok about school, but you never know, I'll play it by ear tomorrow.

Thank you

Stormy

Well done Stormy your strenght is amazing. I am sorry your daughter is feeling bad. Do you have rescue remedy? It often works great in times like this. If no then maybe try some (you can get it in boots etc) a couple of drops on the tongue really seem to help my DS1 who is 12 and can be a bit of a worryguts (like his Mum). Does your daughter have a friend she goes into school with for a bit of moral support? I dreaded taking my kids to school after my Dad died. It was hard explaining to the teachers and I did not want people to keep saying sorry as I knew I would just start crying - her feelings maybe the same. I feel so bad for you all and wish there was a way to ease your pain, another big hug may help a little Dusty x
