Life can be a Pain

Re: Life can be a Pain

@Owlunar2 

 

Pretty surreal to be the family Matriarch.

Go gently. I hope you enjoy catching up with some of your family.

Re: Life can be a Pain

Thanks @Oaktree

 

The matriarch  - I guess so - I am the oldest person in a scattered family  - but - 

I spoke to my daughter and two of my cousins today and emailed one in Canada 

 

I hope they live-stream the

ceremony  - it's up to them - watching such an event can be gutwrenching - families need each other at these rites of passage

All my young fun uncles and my dad have passed

Aw - I need a coffee

Re: Life can be a Pain

Many thanks @Shaz51 - @Appleblossom 

 

I had a heavy-hearted day yesterday  - Tuesday about my uncle  - and today it's 10 years since my mother died and next week it be 14 years since dad died and it all piled up on me 

Yes I am tough and resilient  - still I was exhausted 

I took it easy  - I broke a tooth and need to wait until I know when my uncle's funeral will be before I make a dental appointment 

I'm okay  - I understand why I feel this way but it's tough yards

Sorry that you are doing it tough. Anniversaries can be difficult things.

Sending my love x

Re: Life can be a Pain

Thanks @Oaktree 

Yes - anniversaries can be tough  - today was easier until I spoke with my cousin about my uncle's funeral which is next Monday  - now I feel unsettled again so I am taking a break 

I am pretty sure my feelings about the funeral have more to do with my sister than anything else  - I really have nothing at all to say to her - for my own well-being 

Life is not always about games of Happy Families    - so be it

There's a lot of history in the church where it will be held - I used to sing in the choir there and I was married there - wow 

Thanks again
