Hello to everyone! It's been just over a year since I lost my wonderful mum but I guess with dementia I lost her years ago ...! I have come to realise that no matter how many Counsellors/ people I speak to about my mum and the dreadful experience I went through with her, it will always be painful and traumatic. My Counsellor told me that "There will always be a block regarding your mum" and I do think she's right. I know members on here have said before that a year is not a long time for grieving. I have been trying to push myself far too early and have found I cannot do that. As my body is telling me otherwise. I really thought I was ready but I am starting to realise that I have to take things "One Day at a time" (as someone said to me recently). I am still finding it difficult to put me first as it was mum and her needs for a long while. Maybe in time my brain might programme that . . .
I probably have gone on a little in this post but I just felt the need to put my thoughts down in writing. As always thank you for reading and I hope everyone is doing ok.
