Sadly, the one thing that every human being has in common is that unfortunately at some point we will pass away. It’s never an easy subject to talk about, but it’s something I am sure most of us have thought about at some point in our lives.
Speaking from personal experience there have been quite a few members of my family who have sadly passed away, some were expected, and some were an absolute shock.
It is really difficult to deal with grief at the best of times, but when you suddenly loose somebody really close to you, it is so very painful.
Unfortunately for me 2006 was an awful year as sadly as well as loosing my precious mum, my father in law and my husband’s grandmother also passed away. It was a really awful time and now 3 years on I am still nowhere near getting over loosing my lovely mum.
It is peculiar, but sometimes even now when the telephone rings, I still think it’s going to be mum ringing me to tell me some gossip about my sister or brother or one of their kids. We used to have such a giggle, and even though she could be strict, she was always fair with it. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer mum and if I had my time all over again with her, I wouldn’t change one single thing.
A short time ago my sister got hitched and although we had a wonderful day, it was always going to be tinged with sadness that our mum couldn’t be with us all.
I caught up with my sister a few weeks after her wedding and as we were talking about things, she told me that she had worn some of mum’s jewellery on her wedding day and I told her that I had too.
Mum owned some beautiful silver bracelets and her collection of silver rings was absolutely amazing. For me though her silver necklaces are the most precious and I always try to make sure I wear a different one each day. It makes me feel close to mum at all times, and always proud to have been her daughter.
