4 1/2 years on and still struggling! / Mummy Hi Girls,
Mummy's having a really tough time at the moment. I've been doing so 'well' but have crumbled this weekend and can't stop weeping - the very glimpse of your pictures or beautiful thoughts of you, set me off crying.
I'm now in my fifth year of this life sentence and I can honestly say that the light in my life has been extinguished. No matter how hard I try to be happy for your sakes, something knocks me back.
I have the happiest life I could have without you here. Me and your dad have 2 great close friends who have introduced us to a great new circle of friends and social life - we get out and about and I do function everyday by going to work and getting out (been to London twice this year and Madrid) but all of this is really meaningless without you here.
I went to rounders practice yesterday and one of the girls was there with her daughter who’s the same age as Mollie. It made me weep inside to watch her play and her mum being so proud of her but outwardly I can’t show anything, just wear the dreaded ‘mask’ and smile’.
I can’t motivate myself to organise a charity night this year despite people willing to help – it all seems unfair that that is all I can do without you here. What is the point of anything!
Life without children here is so very hard for me, the house is too quiet and tidy but it is my sanctuary. I light my candles and imagine you are with me, daft I know but how else do I cope? I wish we could be blessed with another child to give us hope and a future but it seems unlikely now. It scares me to think of spending the rest of my days without a child to love and cherish but I always have you two to carry me through.
We had such a wonderful life together Mollie, you were my best friend who brought me so much joy and I miss you each and every day. Losing Lucy, meant losing a future after having cruelly lost you and my dreams and aspirations for you both lost forever.
I hope you are together and that one day we will be reunited – can’t wait!
All my love, hugs and kisses to you both Mummy xx
