First anniversary of the knock

Good morning ladies
One year on from the day that changed our world. I know many of you have been waiting so much longer than that for a resolution to the legal process and have had to deal with so many more challenges, but I had been silently hoping we could move forward by now. As it is we are stuck in this strange hinterland which feels like a punishment in itself. So much has been lost that we have had to come to terms with, and whilst some groundwork has been completed ( Inform, some psychotherapy, finance adjustments etc) we increasingly seem to be putting our efforts into just waiting.
Tomorrow I'll pick myself up again I'm sure, get my things to do list back on track, stop feeling so damn sorry for myself. Just for today I might hang out with my friend Self Pity.

I'm sorry you're stuck in limbo Judith. I feel much the same, it's a punishment in itself, but not one the courts take into account!
It's a tough journey and it's entirely understandable and normal to feel this way, or any way!
Sometimes self pity and allowing yourself to wallow can be very therapeutic. Bizarrely I find a couple of days of weeping in misery often helps me bounce back. For me it's healthier than locking away those negative feelings as they then threaten to overwhelm me when I do let them out!
I hope you can spend the day putting yourself first, doing the things you wish whilst you let yourself feel whatever you feel.
Sending love x

Thank you all. Decided to make an effort and have lunch out and did some Christmas shopping. A bit lower key than usual but altogether a better day than I originally anticipated. And, in the immortal words of the very un-pc character Scarlett O'Hara "Tomorrow is another day".
I often have a secret sob in my pillow!
