Hello Malc & Jackie - you will know when its time to move forward, you have Jackie now and your mum will be happy knowing that. Take care.

Malc has nothing to reproach himself for. He is probably all cried out - but as and when he feels ready to cry - let the tears come - they do heal. The stress and strain of the last few months have taken their toll. Take care

In my thoughts often Malc and Jackie.
Be gentle with yourself Malc, there are no ' rights ' or ' wrongs '. We are all different.

Treat yourself gently Malc, no regrets or recriminations, you did your very best for you Mum and she knew she was loved - that is all anyone can do.

Thank you for all your kind words to Malc and myself. It has been hard going and seems an eternity since October when Malcs Mum was first taken ill. Now the funeral is over, I hope that we can start to move forward bit by bit. Malc has times where he is in tears and times when he is angry and has regrets. All part of the grieving process I know.

Anyway, thanks again.

Hi Malc - I think possibly you have already shed plenty of tears - you'll probably shed more in days and weeks to come but that's to be expected. From time to time things will occur which remind you of your Mum but that's no bad thing - I remember when my Dad died thinking "I'm never going to get over this" and then I thought well I don't really ever want to get over it but learn to live with it instead. Hope you are able to do the same in time. Love Ann XX

Malc, I think men find it hard to show feelings they think that they have to be strong for everyone else.
When my mil died my husband and his brother found it very hard to show emotion.
My husbands sister invited us all round the day after the funeral and we had a few drinks and talked about mil and dont think it must have been the drink but oh and brother wept buckets.
my husband said the next day that he felt much better for it.
I am not advocating that you get pie eyed just relating what worked for my oh
((((((((((hugs))))))))))
and positive thoughts to you and yours
Love Jackie

Malc,
Just take each day as it comes, you will have days that you will cry and believe it or not you will have days when you laugh at something you mum did and you will feel guilty but dont its all in the prosses of grieving.
Take care hug to you and Jackie
