Hi Julyers
Hope everyone is ok.
love and hugs to all.
PJ, I hope the depression has lifted somewhat.
Croutie love, it’s good to see you. Don’t worry about what you say we’re all here to help each other, as Dee says, we’re one big family.
Many years ago when I was nearly 10 my brother who was 12 years died. I don’t think my dad ever got over him dying. My mum turned to her religion and had hope of seeing her dear son again. My dad, who already drank, drank more. It was 53 years ago but talking about it takes me back like it was yesterday.
I think us being sober helps somewhat.
I know mother and child bond can be strong , I call it the umbilical chord bond.
I think what I’m trying to say is it’s ok to grieve. With time the good memories come through too.
You can smile (or dare I even say laugh) at the wonderful memories you have.
I carry my brother in my heart, as I’m sure you do Croutie, of your DH and DS. They’re a part of us somehow. And will stay there forever.
Bob stay safe in the storm, pleased you’re well prepared.
Love to all, be safe xxxx
