Charles Dickens Scrooge said it all HUMBUG..
In the last 16 months I have had my op, lost my Dad March, and my Mum September, I'm still trying to clear my Mums things and as we share the house and she lived here for 50 years that's hard...
I have decided that I dictate the pace at which I let go of my Mum. If others find me wanting in some way that is their problem, NOT MINE.. She was my Mum for 57years and I will let her go at my speed.
Today I put many small items in the trash, yes I know that has to be but it doesn't make it any easier, ever piece of paper she wrote on contains her personality, every trinket she kept contains her memories...
I wish I had children, children are the future and the future needs nurturing...
My Mums Twin Grandsons are 14 and one of them said to me the hardest thing is not being able to talk to them again, out of the mouths of babes...
So yes I'm sure will can do this but it will be one of the hardest things we have ever done..
Sunshine... love and hugs
Helen
