Isn't it sad how this journey hits you at times.
Not had a bad day - but got this overwhelming feeling of how much I miss my boy. I would give anything at this moment to have a cup of tea with him plus a few biscuits of course.

how I miss him x

Smile Through Tears, big hugs to you, I feel your pain. I am not at the point you are at and I so hope that it doesn't come to that point and the outcome can be better than we are imagining. I would be the same as you and I hope you can have a better day tomorrow, one more day closer to being able to have that cup of tea (and biscuits :) xxx

It really does feel like a bereavement and I'm talking two years into this journey. Hopefully half way through..,,,

Most of the time I cope but it can suddenly descend on you like a big black cloud, it really is a lonely place to be isn't it?

I visited my person yesterday and out of the blue, when I left I was in floods of tears. I couldn't say why or what triggered it, perhaps because it felt so normal to sit there and have a conversation together but not leave together. I miss him lots and I feel so helpless. I try so hard to be positive, focus on practical things and the here and now, but when I come up for air I realise how far we still have to go.

Every single one of us in this journey is stronger than we ever imagined we could be and probably stronger than anyone will ever know we had to be.

Sending you hugs and support - You aren't alone.

I think a big part of the problem - mainly due to family secrecy and now distance to prison- I haven't physically seen my son. So as I said it feels like a bereavement.

ive decided tho come hell or high water I will visit him if/when he gets moved nearer - the time has come for my needs to come first.

thanks (yet again) for your support ladies x
