April 4th Friday.

I'm still trying to come to terms with my sons death. Some days it doesn't feel real that he's no longer here. I keep expecting him to walk through the door after his day at work. My heart aches for my child. I miss him more than anything. I'd do anything to see his face again, but instead I sit here looking at his urn on my fire place. We're in April already and on June 2nd it will be a year since he's passed away. I ask myself how I've made it this far in life because I am morbidly depressed and I'm grieving.  How am I continuing with life? My dad's death destroyed me, but losing a child, I can't even put it into words how devastating it is.  Not a day goes by where I don't think about my son and my dad. Every day I'm filled with deep sadness, my heart aches. I had a shit day yesterday, I didn't go the cafe because Jensen took me school morning and afternoon bless him. He was off work so it was nice of him take me school and Asda to...

April 2nd Wednesday.

Had my 9th driving lesson yesterday and my head wasn't in it. I stalled so many times and I had a driver beeping at me from behind which made the situation even worse. Apparently I'm doing what I should be for my 9th lesson and I shouldn't feel disheartened. Let's hope the more lessons I have the easier it will become. Fingers crossed. I'm saving for a car now, can't wait be driving. I've been see my mum today which has done me good. She made us both a coconut tai green curry for dinner and it was lovely. Mum's always made lovely curries. 2 of my friends came visit me last night, was nice to have a catch up. Never feel like seeing anyone but always glad when I do. I went the cafe this morning to see some of my friends. I just wish I had more to say. Wonder why I don't talk much anymore? It's got to be the depression. I've felt ok the past few days, I mean, I'm always sad but I'm ok, if that makes sense. I don't want to die which i...

March 31st Monday.

I ended up getting dressed and visiting my friend yesterday when Jesse went with Damian. I'm glad I did because it did me good to get out of the house. I see her through the week, then almost every Sunday. I regretted not going church yesterday, I missed it but I just wasn't in a good place mentally.  Feel so much better today, I've not done anything except washing, which is drying on the line because the sun is out. Makes you feel so much better when the sun is shining and you can peg washing out. You can tell I'm old. I've not long had a bath and washed my hair. I could cry at how much hair I lose when I wash it. I'm losing stupid amounts of hair, it's unreal! Fucking Menopause!! Had a meeting earlier at Jesse's school because of his attendance. I told them that my son passed away and that some days I just don't leave the house due to my anxiety. They were understanding. I do need to try and get him in school everyday. Some days are hard though. I...

43 weeks today since my son tragically passed away and it's Mother's Day. My first Mother's Day without my son. I feel deflated today. Had to force myself to get out of bed. I've not gone Church, I'm just not feeling life today.  The boys dad has had me the most loveliest cup made with my kids names on. I'll post a photo at the end of my blog. He's got me the most beautiful card. He's such a good man and an amazing dad. He's got me through some dark days. I appreciate him so much. I'm tired today, I'm tired of life. I know it's a bad day and tomorrow will be better. My first Mother's Day was bound to be hard not having one of my children here. I've got my other boys here, but Jasper's asleep. Jesse's on his computer but is going out with Damian later, and Jensen is in bed with a sickness bug. Bless his heart he's been throwing up all night. Jesse had the bug last weekend, I'm just hoping I don't end up with it....

March 28th Friday.

So I went to see my mum yesterday,  spent a few hours with her and we had dinner together. It was nice. Getting out of the house really does me good. I gave her some flowers I'd brought, along with a new vase and a card and she was so happy, which made me feel happiness. There's not a better feeling than making someone smile. I've had my brother here all day today so my mind has been occupied. He's gone home now and I've got in my pj's ready to go bed. Can't wait to have a lie in, in the morning.  I hate the weekends. I struggle mentally because I don't leave the house. I keep thinking about doing stuff with Jesse but then my anxiety kicks in. I can't wait till I'm driving because we can go anywhere at any time.  How am I feeling today? I'm ok. I'm just ok. Still not thriving, just surviving, but one day I'm going to write about how happy I am. I'm determined to get better. I can't wait to feel happiness, I'm desperate to ...

March 26th Wednesday.

Had my 8th driving lesson yesterday and I can finally see progress. My clutch control is getting alot better. I'm becoming more confident behind the wheel.  My friend came to visit me last night, we had a good catch up and a few cups of tea. I never feel like seeing anyone, but then I'm happy when I do. I struggle with socialising because I don't really talk alot anymore. My friends do the majority of the talking and I put a fake smile on my face and join in with conversation as much as I can. I don't know why I don't talk much anymore, well I do, it's because the only thing I want to talk about is my son, so it's easier to just stay quiet.  I've not felt too bad the past couple of days, mentally speaking. It does me good seeing my friends. I see a group of friends every morning in the cafe. Like I say, I don't talk much, but I'm trying. I'm trying to socialise more because I know it does me good. I'm just tired all the time, probably why...

March 24th Monday.

At half 12 last night Jesse decided to throw up all over my bed. He's not been able to go school today which means I've been stuck in all day, which is not good for the mental health.  I've been sat thinking about the morning my son died and the police showed up at my door to notify me. Having to tell Jay-Dees dad that his son had passed away.  Basically, I've been reliving that day my son tragically passed away. It's a nightmare I'm desperate to wake up from. I ask myself, am I asleep. Will I wake up from this nightmare?  I know it's because I've been stuck in the house.  Jesse was only sick the once so I think he might of eaten too much and that's why he's unwell. He's going back school tomorrow because I have a driving lesson booked. I'll be glad do the school run and go the cafe see my friends.  I hate being in the house and I think it's because I have my dad's and sons ashes here. I could never bring myself to scatter their a...
