Bittersweet week

I’m so sorry your going through this right now but don’t be so hard on yourself, you are grieving and going through a tough time and are not letting them down at all, they know mummy loves them that’s all they need. Plus they have chocolate that’s all kids really want at Easter anyway. Be kind to yourself x

Firstly, sorry for the loss of your nan. It’s not easy losing a loved one and you need to allow yourself some time to grieve. Secondly, you’re a great mom- whether you’ve planned anything for Easter or not- I’m sure your kids think you are the best. Be patient and give yourself some grace to navigate this challenging time- you’ve got this and everything will be alright in the end! X

You are a human being and allowed to grieve ❤️ I am so sorry you are going through this! You are a great mum and its just Easter. They’ll have a great time with their chocolate! If you want to just get white eggs and do some egg blowing and painting with them (if old enough). Any small activity will get your mind off it and make their day. Don’t be so hard on yourself ❤️

Hey mama ! So sorry for your loss, it is not easy at all, I lost my little sister in January & and I am the same, no energy no motivation for anything really and the guilt takes over me - You are really doing amazing! And your definitely not letting your kiddos down, you still managed to get them little chocolate bits and that’s such a big thing when grieving, the numbness fades little by little over time, be kind to yourself and remember you are human♥️

The fact that you’ve written this already shows you’re an incredible mama. Be kind to yourself, you have a lot going on. Grief takes its toll and is not a short journey. You are not alone. As for Easter, it’s just a day. Perhaps try to get everyone out for a walk - I’ve found walking is really healing for grief. Sending you love xx

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Nan 4 & a half years ago & I still miss her like it was just last week that I lost her. She never got to meet my little boy. Easter used to be such a big deal while she was alive. We all used to get together as a family. Now it's just another day. Go easy on yourself. You are doing your best right now 🤗

So sorry for your loss! Don’t be hard on yourself, it’s totally normal to struggle with grief, take time for yuself and for your mental heath. don’t feel guilty for feeling sad for your loss, if you can make sure you talk to someone about how you feel so you don’t feel alone x

I’m so sorry for your loss.. That’s a lot to process. Of course you are not letting your children down. You are showing up as best you can, modelling real human emotions that are valid and deserve space, time and kindness. That is what they’ll see x

Thank you ladies for all your kind responses 🫶 all much appreciated and words I needed to hear. @Fern I am so sorry for your loss too, I couldn’t imagine losing my sister, that must be awful. Take care of yourself too 💞
