I call it death math. It is so confusing! Both my parents died suddenly and tomorrow it will be 13 years since my dad died...I just did the math...again. Thank you for putting words to it so well. Along with my dad being in my heart this week, the number 19 will be there as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A week on Monday it’ll be 10 years without my mum, and I’m very much feeling all the same feelings (known and unknown) as you. I hope you see lots of crocuses on Saturday 💛

Thank you for sharing this piece it's completely normal to feel a range of emotions, from deep sorrow to fond memories and everything in between. Today marks 9 years without my dad. I hear and feel you. Sending you love and light.

I am so sorry to read about what you're going through. Nothing can compare to the death of a loved one, let alone a mother. My nan was my mother, and I lost her too. It's heartbreaking and the grief doesn't go away. But this newsletter made me think and feel and cry. Thank you a million times. And yes, there will be brightness, I am so sure of that. For you especially, for me too. For everyone who is deeply grieving...

I've been staring at this empty comments box for ever such a long time, knowing i want to say something, but not knowing what....crying a lot, but good tears, because that's what your writing so often releases in me. And thinking of this amazing woman we call mum but who I always knew as Susie and thinking how proud she'd be (is) of you and all the comfort you bring to so many people in the world. Including me. Thank you my love. I'm so proud of you too.....
