Yes very much so. My dad had Picks disease and mum had lifelong mental health problems so it was a very long goodbye for both of them. I feel very peaceful. Lots of things were resolved before she died so that was goodHugs @Kingmidas
Was same with my mum passing..
i think it's the fact we are saying goodbye over a long period (dementia for mum )
that eases the grief, but not the love .
Yesterday's doings - funny old day as it was mums funeral. However, it was very sweet and touching and not as overwhelming as I've found all the previous parents' ones. Probably because I've done a lot of my mourning over the years but anyway ... that's a bit glum.
Late brekkie: wholemeal toast, butter and sweet freedom choc spread, tea
Lunch: nothing, but went for family catch up after (that was nice) and I'd taken one of my low carb wafers with me so I had that and more tea
Dinner: hunk of paté plus a mountain of celery and some chilli jam daughter got me for Christmas - delicious! It was a gift set which came with chilli oil and salad dressing as well which I will be sloshing on lots of things
Supper: mexicana cheese and pecans (fave snack)
I've now lost 1st 2lb so am well chuffed with myselfView attachment 30292
Yes, I felt pretty awful yesterday morning but I knew it would be ok.I’m glad the funeral went well - I’ve often found they can be ‘the best of times, and the worst of times’. Lovely to see friends and family but sad because of the gap the missing person has left. Both my parent’s funerals felt like that: I felt sick and terrible beforehand, but by the end I felt happy in an odd sort of way.
Very well done on your weight loss.
Your snack sounds like just the sort of thing I’d like but daren’t try - I’d eat the whole pack of both!

Huxley a new family Dane puppy who is 11 stone! I just can’t imagine it he could easily flatten us @Goonergal by the sounds of it! Sure @DJC3 will fill you in maybe a photo? Would be good to see what he looks like.@DJC3 did I miss a new dog story?

Definitely missed that. Pic please @DJC3
There is an old couple around here with two Great Danes. Looking at where they live I have no idea how they all fit in.
Got to agree. @Kingmidas - totally agree with @DJC3. I've had more than my fair share of deaths and funerals this year. I felt very much like that at my brother's funeral and it was so nice to reminisce with so many people. My sister's was the long , drawn out goodbye. Just New Year to get through now. I was reassuring my niece at Christmas that the time will come when she can speak about her Dad and smile.

Thank you for photo they look amazing xHere are the Danes. Huxley the puppy is the grey one. Very playful but a bit thick - still hasn’t learnt that the cat doesn’t ever want to play in spite of several swipes to the nose to put him straight.

Ah yes, I do hope she knows the time will hopefully come when she can. I used to work in counsellor training and we did a lot of work around loss and grief so I know the territory and the process, but it's not quite the same when its your own xGot to agree. @Kingmidas - totally agree with @DJC3.

I’m experimenting with freezing cream in ice cube trays - when I visit my daughter I often forget to take cream for my coffee and she doesn’t often have it. I wondered if I could freeze it in portion sizes and put in her freezer, then just bung a cube into my coffee. Turns out it separates so you get an unattractive yellow oil on top. I’m wondering if whipping it first would make a difference - anybody tried?
