Merry.Mel's Journal, 28 Nov 23

Aw Mel, it's good to let it all out and to be busy, but just remember you matter too, so if you need a break, take one. Thinking of you at this sad time xx 

It will take a lot of time to get used to. As Lorna said, it's good to let it out, it'll sneak up on you at times too. So take your time Mel and remember to breathe xx 

Thanks it's six,'s and seven's at the moment such a challenge but one day the light will shine bright again got away to go though. Your all so lovely 😍. Merry Mel nearly. Xx 

Thinking of you Mel …. 💔 you need to cry scream …. Holding it in grief can harm us on deeper levels than we think …. I lost my father at an early age & wasn’t given the space or the chance to grieve I still carry it with me to this day, 35 years, later ….. 

You do the right thing to cry and let out all the pain instead of trying to hold it in. I love your attitude the light will shine bright on you again xx 

I’m sorry about your loss merry Mel , the best thing is to let it out and grieve , we are all here for you xx 

I will miss Jim. I felt like I knew him. I showed my hubby his picture. Sending a hug and prayer.  

So sorry for your loss Mel. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Big hugs 🤗 

Sending prayers for you Merry Mel. You are very strong. Xo ❤️🙏🏻

Crying is a human response to dealing with sadness frustration and emotional overload. And having an angry shout is another release...so it's good. As others are saying. I understand both the need to keep busy and go back to work but it is early days and so maybe be ready to work a shorter day or if you need to..just stop. Sometimes reactions catch us unawares and tears well up at the slightest reminder. All normal but it can be exhausting. Please go steady.  

.....sending you strength and peace over.....you have such courage and your tears are valuable healing moments. See in colour and light and your mind will elevate towards finding healing. Someone told me this one day in my darkest moment and it helped so I hope it helps you.....go at your own pace dear Merry Mel....glad you have your support network 😊 x 

Sometimes an ugly cry is exactly what's needed. Sending hugs ❤️

Hello Mel. Just want you to know am thinking of you. its good you are finding support from us all. I live in the Midlands and its a beautiful sunny day but very very cold... so an upper and a downer. The thing about dark cold days is that it's tempting to stay in which can be lonely. I know you will go to work and I know you have so much to deal with just now but please make sure you continue to keep posting comments. we are all here and we are all thinking of you. and by the way nice hot drinks and a piece of cake to supplement making sure you DO eat won't do you any harm right now. it's a time to care for your self and be kind to yourself too.  

I’m so sorry. Thinking of you xx
