Oh sweet girl xx I wish I could whisk you off somewhere to mourn your Mum and look after the girls for you so you can have the time you need

Grief has many stages. I'm sure you know this already. Trying to continue on with everyday life when your heart has come to a screeching halt is hard. Life seems cruel and everyday stuff seems unimportant. Your girls will be fine while you muddle through this emotional time. Really the best you can do is to get through it the best you can, and if that means you're not winning mother of the year while you navigate life without your own Mum, that's actually ok. Please tell yourself this.

It's ok to feel all the things you are feeling. It's ok to want to be alone. It's ok to let normal life slide. As long as the kids are fed, safe and healthy, for now that's enough. Life will eventually return to some kind of normal, it won't be so hard or painful, but for now, just exist xxxx

One day at a time babe, just take it one day at a time.
