Hi @frog, sorry about ya mum 😢 It's hard to believe it, when our parents go, I think 'cause they were always a part of our world. I lost my dad December, and mum 2018. I've lived interstate last 20yrs mostly so it's still not sunk in. Siblings all went mad, worried about money, dad's estate (derintestate), the family home (now sold & in trust). Anyway, your not alone in Grief. What you achieved today is more than enough, well done!
What have I done? 🤔Oh yes
- solicitor apt - decisions made ✓
- overcome panic attack after ✓
- dishes ✓ - load washing ✓
- couple of posts here ✓
- cracked out recorder & memorised The Last Post for Sunday ✓
That actually doesn't sound too bad hey (thought I'd done nothing much again). Thanks for the call out (((((🐸)))))
Hi @frog
It was my pleasure and you’re so welcome 
I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you to face another day 
I think that it takes an enormous amount of courage to do this and what you’ve managed to achieve today is absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much for your kind words - I really do believe that this is just so important, although it’s often so much easier said than done
I also believe that living with mental health issues (and I would imagine caring for a loved one who lives with mental health issues) takes an enormous amount of courage and energy and a whole range of inner resources that would absolutely amaze some people and take them completely by surprise!
Please know that I’m thinking of you at this really difficult time and sending you some gentle hugs
Take care,
ShiningStar
