Thanks RicRelieved to say that I’ve just had a message from Emma. She’s still going through a very difficult time obviously, but the most important thing is that she’s ok for now. She’s seen the thread on here and appreciates the support. She said she’s sorry for worrying people, but will try to reply to PMs when she feels up to it.
Beautiful post. Respect bluemy mum died too, some years back now.
Absolutely devastated to this day, miss her terribly. She was taken too young and bloody horribly as well. No dignity at all. This was the one woman in my life that would die for me. She Brought myself and my sister up and did a fukin good job of it an’all. An absolute hero of mine. And she was my mum.
For years I felt like I’d never stop crying about it and still I get flashbacks of her lay dead with all sorts going on and it still hurts like hell.
I look at my kids and see the pain in their eyes from watching me hurt so much and their own pain of missing their nana the best nana ever to them. It twists my heart to know that they miss her and she’s Never coming back. She’ll never be there for them at all the landmark occasions and milestones. She’ll always be missing.
But I love my mum. More than anything. And I came to realise that the more I’d loved her the more I’d feel the pain of losing her. And then realised that’s not a bad thing. My pain was a direct result of the love I had for her. That made me feel happy. Knowing I loved her unconditionally for so long and my pain confirmed that. It made me smile, it still does.
Out of that thinking I thought there is only one way I can show her how much I love and miss her, and that was to make her proud. Make her proud of me, my kids and my life. Carry on her legacy, Show her that I’ll take her with me on my journey and I’ll try my best to make it the best journey possible. It also helped me to focus myself again. Get rid of some things and people I realised I didn’t need.
Mate, Your mum is,was, will be the best person ever in your life.
You’ve just got to try to be her daughter And carry her candle with you. After all her legacy is you! You carry on? then so does she!
Good luck sister cry whenever you fukin feel like it! And be proud!
