No goodbyes.

by Jane Elliot
(Sydney Australia)

I lost my mum almost 1 year ago , she died suddenly, she was 69 I am still so sad, my dad started a relationship 5 months after my mum died he is still so sad so I find it hard to understand how he could do this. I have been so preoccupied by this that my grief has been stalled until now almost a year later now I have to carrying on grieving and take steps backward because I spent a lot of time thinking about my dad and what he was doing to us. I know he is lonely but it wont bring my mum back and I think he went into it too soon. I still feel like it was only yesterday, hoping the future will bring me some peace or acceptance at least because I miss my mum and didnt get to say goodbye and this makes me very sad.
