My youngest sister J was here with her fiance G two days ago and we had a small celebration of her engagement, It was overshawoded at the time by dad's death.
We had a lovley walk in the park, a siesta then champagne ( sparkly ) presents, food and wine. It was specail because she has not been to visit us in Liverpool since we came home from Spain in 2008.
We felt sad too, it is simply unavoidable at this stage.
After they left I came down with this cold. I feel like I am living the text book on grief and ticking the boxes,this stage is flu.
My niece posted a picture today on facebook,a picture I took.. It was of her on her 21st birthday with my dad in the garden and Kintillo!
It is a beautiful photo and they both look so happy sharing a joke,they so obviously love each other.I was touched to see the photograph.
A few days ago,
I sent my sister in law M a copy of my self published book " Murray's Waterfall Home!
A month or so ago I published it on line, on smashwords! She downloaded it, her purchase was my first sale!I wanted her to have the first copy as a thank you for her encouragement.
I got a text from her today,she is thrilled to bits.It lifted my sprits.
It is a strange time, dad is dead,life will never be the same. I am hearbroken and not well ( today) yet I get a lift from a photo posted on facebook and a text from M.
I am containing so much feeling,and fortunately getting the chance to express it too.
I am working tomorrow,a workshop, people think I should cancel,but really I would prefer to do it,workshops and not quite as draining as counselling.
I may have to cancel next weeks clients.
All the handouts are ready for tomorrow,and John has made some visual aids for me.
Lovefilm arrived today "Waltz with Bashir" looking forward to it but probably not tonight.Tonight is an early night for me.
