Who Took My Energy?
Mood: melancholy
Listening to: silence
Energy levels dropped by about 1pm. Sigh.
Mum's shopping was inspirational... I got some gorgeous scarves and cushion covers. She is able to walk a little better, so I am grateful for that. She found it hard without Dad. She said she had some pretty painful moments, being in places that they had spent so much time together.
Trouble is.. when she tells me, I fight back the tears so much myself, I cannot find anything to say to comfort her. It was a terribly cruel act for him to be taken away so suddenly. It grieves me to see Mum with such heartbreak and grief. There is no cure. I feel useless. She battles on, like all the women from her family (even going back generations) They make them tough in that family, but it still does not make this death/separation any easier. A terrible tragedy for two people who were not whole unless they were together.
And I hate injustice.......
