Hello again
Well after a few fairly miserable days the weather has picked up here and we aren't drowning the neighbourhood every time Mum is mentioned - heck, I can even sit in her chair without blubbing.
So anyhow onto the news - the next chapter Full Diary, of Book 15 is now up for your delectation and delight.
Its back to two wheels tomorrow - its been 15 weeks since I turned a pedal so I'm looking forward to it with both joy and some trepidation!
Well I need to get back to cooking dinner/lunch so for now,
adios!

Blubber as needed
My experience was that it takes a full year to fully recover from such a loss. You will never forget her, but eventually you will slowly be able to get back into life.
It just takes time.

My Dad died in 82. Yes, it took a year before I could think of him and have fond memories instead of sharp pains in heart. But still, after all this time, there are days when I feel the loss. He was my go to guy for nearly everything I needed to do. If I didn't have a skill necessary to do a job, likely he did.
I still miss him.

Getting over a breavement
can indeed be problematic.
When my father died in 1993, I was in the middle of a huge project in Central Asia. A week after his funeral, I flew to Kazakhstan and for a few days at least his death was forgotten. One afternoon, I broke down in tears. Those were the first tears I'd shed. The Customer project manager asked me why I was crying. When I told her, she made a few phone calls and two days later my Mother joined me in Almaty. We were also put up in a Government house and made very welcome. Mum was made to feel like royalty which helped both of us get over Dad's death. We even got taken to Baikonour to witness a rocket launch. She still talks about that trip today. Good memories of a bad time.
It made me realise that everone handles these situations differently.
It also made me realise how hospitable other people can be as a matter of course. I've tried to carry on that trait even now all those years later.

Good to hear
that you're lifting your head a bit again, and thanks for the new bit.
I'm sure we don't need to remind you to ride intelligently? Ah - it seems I did it anyway, doh!
