Dryathlon 2022

-
So, it's not like I was an alcoholic but I did enjoy a drink in the evening some nights,  but come the weekend especially a Friday night it was becoming a joke how much alcohol I'd shove down my throat when the kids were in bed..
Saturday mornings and through out the day I was so hungover it was vile so I decided to not only do dry January to detox but at the same time I could raise money for Cancer research uk, so this is how it's going.......

Not only was my 38th Birthday on the 10th of January but it's now day 13 and not a single drop of alcohol has touched my lips 💞 I thought I was going drink on my birthday and pay the £20 fee to my fundraising page but I decided not ruin the month and then starting again from the 11th so I didn't, for the 1st time in god knows how long I had a sober birthday. It was the best birthday and I remember it 🤣 I went for a lovely meal had a diet coke and then went for a desert and had a bottle of water 👀
Still can't believe it, 13 days with no alcohol and upto now I've raised £70 excluding gift aid 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
How amazing does it feel to do something so amazing for something that is so close to my heart.
13 days Zero alcohol!!🎉

June 14th My Son Is Coming Home.

-
The coroner has rang today and the funeral home. My son will be getting collected from Liverpool, Monday morning. Which means I can hopefully see him Tuesday. Its Friday today. It will be over 2 weeks since I last saw my child. As a mother, my body is yearning to see my son. I just need to hold him and kiss him on his head. I feel sickness to the pit of my stomach, I'm dreading seeing my baby in a coffin, I'm dreading the funeral. This shouldn't be happening. His funeral will be July 1st at 12.15. I just feel numb. Im convinced its not my son and he'll just arrive home at some point.. I feel hollow with a sick feeling in my stomach. A few of my friends delivered me a beautiful canvas of my son this morning. What beautiful, thoughtful people I have in my life. I don't really know how I feel or what to say, I don't understand how I'm still alive. I'm lost...

June 3rd 2024 The Morning After.

The tears keep coming, I am absoloutely distrought. I feel like I have failed as a mother. I feel beyond heartbroken, I just want my boy home. Ive self harmed, ive not self harmed for over half a year, ive been trying so hard to get better and now im scared im going to kill myself. My 21 year old son took his own life yesterday morning. How as a mother do you deal with the death of a child? Where do you find the strenght to continue living when all you want to do is die? I cant leave my other 3 children behind but depression doesnt care if youve got children. Im worried that I will end up dead. The depression will become to hard to deal with and I will kill myself regardless of whether its the right thing to do or not. Im praying my dad was there to meet my son and they are together in heaven looking down on us all. Im back in that dark hole I fought so hard to get out of. I was starting to see some light and now my world has gone dark again. I cant imagine a life without my 4 boys an

My son died today, my baby boy died and I dont know how to live a life without him. I dont want to live a life without him!!! When will my nightmare of a life end?

I cant die can I, I have 3 other children that need me. I know one day im going to die.Im sat telling myself that my other boys need me but I feel like my body just wants to give up. Im tired now of fighting depression. I am so fucking tired. How do you carry on living when a piece of you has just passed away, someone tell me how I carry on living without my son..
