Is it too soon to plan ahead? My lovely Dad died a couple of weeks ago, we had his funeral on Wednesday last week and all the family came from near and far, it was so good to see everyone!
But I keep thinking ahead to what we "usually" do in the Autumn and Winter especially Christmas. Usually Mum and Dad spend Christmas Morning and the day together cooking their own Festive lunch and come to us on Boxing Day. I feel so upset when I think of Mum all on her own on Christmas Morning, with no Dad there.
Its just too sad to think about. Of course she can cone to us we are only about 10 minutes down the road she can have lunch with us but I know she will get very tired and what will it feel like for her to go back home into an empty house on Christmas night, and how will it feel for her to be in her house on Christmas Eve?
Its just so horrible to think about, I don't want to think about it but I do want to have a plan of action ready to suggest in time for her!
She is 83, Dad was 85
I feel a big empty hole now he is gone, it must be so much worse for Mum
