Anyone else watch the London Fireworks on BBC tonight and just stare at them?

I used to sit in front of the TV smiling, I loved watching the fireworks I'd say goodbye to the previous year in my head and look welcome to what the new year brings.

not this year... I'm absolutely terrified.

I sat and cried personally. I was thinking of our past new years celebrations with a house full of excitement and noise. Now I live in a house surrounded by ghosts..... :-(

I sat and cried and today I'm feeling numb and sick thinking about what the next few weeks might bring as we have sentencing at the end of the month.

I can't even bring myself to wish others a happy new year and pretend to be happy myself.

I cried watching too as our situation enters a new year. I also cried watching The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse on BBC1 Xmas Eve.



I'm just a wreck really.

I cries the new year out. Thinking what this year is going to bring. I'm only a month into this and I'm so scared what the future holds for me and my children. Thought about all the good times I had on new year and Christmas as a family now its probably never going to be the same again. Just such a heartbreaking process ????

Just spoke to my son (in prison) and he's full of beans and cheerful which always makes my day!

Done a spot of gardening too - feel brighter!

Ladies

These are normal feelings and emotions and we grieve for what our lives were and you have every right to feel the sadness this journey brings

For you lovely people that have to face the outcome in the next few weeks, months you will get through it I promise

We are here on this horrendous journey together xx

The journey ahead will be full of uncertainty as we have no control or say in what will happen

But each and everyone of you are stronger than you know (it just doesn't feel like it right now)

Smile glad you spoke to your son this morning

Sending love to you all xx
