Blessed

 

When it comes to struggling to find the words to sum up my feelings about a situation, it seems my favourite author (Jeanette Winterson) has already beautifully expressed the emotion I’m fighting so hard to convey

‘”You’ll get over it…..” it’s the cliches that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it’ is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never lessens. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to’

I was blessed with 3 very different and equally important grandparents all of whom had a hugely positive impact on my life … You are eternally loved and never forgotten xxx
