Gently...
1:22 pm
Very gently easing myself back into life.
This morning was the first day back at school, a daunting prospect for us all. We've pretty much cocooned ourselves away over the Summer while we've been dealing with our raw grief. Life, however does go on, and today we all had to face the new school year.
Woody has taken the week off work so I don't have to face the school run alone. He held my shaking hand while I walked Sid into his new reception class.
I've also managed to do a tiny bit of sewing. My concentration levels have been at total zero since Florence was born, a combination of grief and post natal baby brain I think. Most days I've simply been concentrating on getting through the next minute, the next hour..

I wish I could just engulf you and make everything feel better hun.
ReplyDeleteIt will take time, you know that and you're doing the right thing in taking it gently.
You're blessed to recognise the support you each need and to have the confidence to do what's best for you and stuff work, hold hands, be with and comfort each other as often or as publicly as you need!!
I hope Sids first day goes well, I want a funky bag like that!! :o)
I hope the first day went well!
ReplyDeleteHugs and Kisses for you all

adding my thoughts as well. All you can do is take each moment as they come. Take good care of yourself and your family.

You are very wise. Treating yourselves gently is so very wise. Thinking of you this week, and every day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little bag for Sid! Very stylish in the retro car print.
Your children are blessed to have such a loving mummy. Hugs to all of you x
