Oct 2015

is that I need to share with my Mum.

As with the passing of family and dear friends, the grief is different each time.

I'm sorry your friend isn't here to share your news.

Time heals all they say ... 'they' don't know what they are talking about!

The pain eases a bit but never goes away. You'll find other ways and different people to share with but it will never be the same.

I hope you find some solace in the good memories held close in your heart.
