Tough day today - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

It was my brothers funeral a while ago, 11th March, but today we finally had a small service to bury his ashes. Just family, my mum and dad, me and Joe, my aunt and my brothers girlfriend.

I was fine at the actual funeral, I carried his coffin and read the eulogy, I think I was too numb for tears, but that was a beautiful day in every way.

He died at the end of February, and I didn't sleep a full night till the day of his birthday, April 9th, it was like I was waiting for that day.

Joe asked me if I'd be the one to put his Dad in his final resting place today and I was honoured to do so, my mum carried him from the cemetery gates and then passed him to me.

Today was a tough day.

(((Lucy))) I'm so sorry. I know it has been a hard day, and I'm sending you, Joe, and the rest of you some extra hugs and prayers.
