After a long time- just in case you spot this
That message was very much appreciated- very thoughtful and supportive. You were spot on about what it was like- and hugs always appreciated!
My mum died 3 weeks ago. It meant that the loss was clear and complete. Which is still very sad but more straightforward, if that makes any sense.
So if you do read this, thank you for your post at a tough and confusing time.
