mom thank you for your kind words. I was doing alright until yesterday. It just completely hit me and knocked me down. I was in no mood to respond to anything really. This time is hard for me. And mother's day last year I totally lost my shit. I'll be on vacation for mother's day this year so I was hoping that might help. Hugs I am sorry your having a difficult time.

Sorry. Fireguard definition: A metal screen placed in front of an open fireplace to catch sparks. So a fireguard made of chocolate is useless because it will melt from the heat of the fire. I totally read this as a chocolate LIFEGUARD and well. honestly, the translation works just the same

You sound like a really awesome supervisor wordfish. Can I switch you for my boss? What do you know about finance?

You sound like a really awesome supervisor wordfish . Can I switch you for my boss? What do you know about finance? Ha thank you very much; you are very kind. I worry a lot that I will let my team down, as I really only want to manage things and not people. I know pretty much zip about finance except my parlor trick of calculating bond rates that I learned in MBA school, which, come to think of it, I've already forgotten how to do. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Hopefully, you'll get to the other side soon. One thing about all of this: You'll have learned a lot about what not to do when you find yourself in a managerial role. I'm sure you will never forget how all of this affected you.

mom thank you for your kind words. I was doing alright until yesterday. It just completely hit me and knocked me down. I was in no mood to respond to anything really. This time is hard for me. And mother's day last year I totally lost my shit. I'll be on vacation for mother's day this year so I was hoping that might help. I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesn't. It gets different, but even 20 years later, I still lose my shit. I have figured out for me that I *need* to lose my shit about 2-3 days before an anniversary or birthday so that I can let the grief go. Then on the actual day, I am ok. Honestly, it's predictable for me now so much that even DH knows that the actual days aren't what knock my breath away, but the day or two before. Anywho, take care of yourself. I lost my husband, not a child, but there is so much truth in your words. You reflected my experience almost exactly as I would describe it myself. Five years later I still tell people "It sucks." Because that is the truth. It doesn’t get better, it gets different; you just get better at handling it - most of the time. And yes, the days leading up to the significant ones are often the hardest. “They” say the body remembers even when the mind doesn’t. Sometimes when I’m feeling extra emotional or on the verge of tears more often I stop and ask myself if there is some date coming that is a hard one to handle. The anticipation can be worse than the actual day/event.
