another day to face

by MJD-S

Trying to take it easy today. Thank goodness Kristen was here because I totally freaked out last night. All this anger just came out from all the stress, and thinking about it now I'm calmer this morning it scares me just how I was not able to keep everything under control. I think I'm just overwhelmed by all I've been forced to go through this year - the long illness and death of my Dad in June, the Boy and his depressive episodes at various times, and now the worst thing I could ever imagine happening - the loss of my Mum. That's all on top of the normal levels of stress of living in another country and working and trying to make a life for myself. But I'm now in a room full of gorgeous flowers. The smell in our hotel room is amazing. The supportive messages from everyone have been so helpful. I know that I am not alone. There are so many people grieving for Mum. The aboriginal community she lived and worked at have been wailing for her in the traditional mourning way, which has surprised us a little because Mum wasn't aboriginal. We've had messages from all over the country, and from around the world. I guess for us it shows how much she was respected and how loved she was, and how loved we are too. Tomorrow will be hard. I'll be in transit from tomorrow afternoon so not online again until I get back to Tokyo on Thursday. Thanks everyone for your love and support.

Sorry to hear about your Mum’s death. Understand that this year has not been the best so here’s to 2005 and a new start.

Whatever I can do to help, please just ask. Thinking of you from San Francisco (business trip.)

MJ,
Take care of yourself, and try and remember to eat properly and sleep when you can. I’m sure your Mum and Dad are both very proud of you.
