560 days sober

-
Sobriety is so hard but today i'm winning. My son Jasper told me he was proud of me and to hear them words is all i've ever wanted. I dream about drinking alcohol and I wake up and thank god it was just a dream. I won't lie, its not easy, I have days still where I crave alcohol, you'd think at 560 days i'd be over the cravings but nope I still struggle but, I have not once given in. I stay sober for my children, i've not done much in life to be proud of but, birthing my 4 babies and going sober, these are my greatest achievements. I'm so proud of myself, 560 days is a massive achievement. Today I am feeling very emotional, I so wish my dad could see the person i've become today ( broke down crying now ), he would be so proud of me. I hope he can see me where ever he is and I pray he's super proud of me. I'm dead inside and fighting demons but i'm never giving up, i'll fight depression as long as I possibly can. Most days I want to die but today is a proud day for me and i'm grateful i'm still here. My mum and dad didn't raise a quiter, i'm fighting for my life so I don't leave my children with no mum. I've cried writing this blog post, so emotional today and i'm not sure why. Heres to another 560 days xxx

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
