Hi everyone, well, it's been a while hasn't it,
apologies for that! Unfortunately, life
as usual, has not gone to plan at all again this year and it's been a very
difficult one in many ways.
In the middle of February this year my father
was taken into hospital after feeling quite ill for several days. Little did we know that over the course of
the next 8 months, he would become even iller and be in and out of hospital,
mostly in.
All while myself and my mum were trying to manage at home, coping with problems
that he would usually have dealt with.
Coping with doing daily jobs that he would usually have done, as both my
mum and I have ill health (as some of you may know from reading my older
posts). To say it's been a struggle and
exhausting and stressful, is an extreme understatement. I have also had another round of counselling
during this time, but I will write about that separately. If you want to read about my counselling experiences
from my last round of sessions, you can do that here.
After everything my father had been through
while in hospital, (I won't go into details), we fully expected him to be on
the mend as much as possible and even come home or at least go into a care
home, as his health was never going to be very good again. But sadly, after suddenly going downhill over
a couple of days, on the 11th of October he passed away..
As you can imagine, this has been a massive blow
and extremely hard to deal with. It's
been just over 3 weeks as I post this but feels like only a few days. It's a real shock to the system. Some days I feel I'm coping, other days I
feel like I'm drowning in tears.
Thankfully I have some amazing friends around that have really been a
great support and my mum and I are doing our best to help each other through
this terrible time.
Today is my blogs 9th birthday and I would
usually always do a giveaway, but hopefully this year you will understand why I
have decided not to. I will try and do
one for you all just before Christmas instead.
Once again, thank you so much for staying with me over the years and I hope to
write and get back into more of a routine soon, as I do have several posts in
mind.
Bye for now ♥
