10 years on
This week is 10 years since my mum died. Hit me a lot harder this year compared to other years.

It happens with me too. Grief is strange that way, it doesn’t necessarily get easier with time. Some years you feel like you’re doing okay, and then suddenly a year hits differently and the loss feels just as raw as it did in the beginning. I think we just learn to live around the grief, but it never really disappears.

It's fourteen years ago that mine died. I still think of her funeral. I couldn't stop crying. At my gran's a decade before it was handled so much better. Even the priest was that. She got horse-drawn carriage funeral. I was present when both died in front of me. I can only say that it does get easier each year. Now I can even smile how we had to walk behind my gran's coffin. Try to focus on lighter moments. Take care!
