I'm having a really bad day today .
I am sitting in the toilets at the cinema (taking my sons to see a movie they have wanted to see for ages)
I'm just crying , hiding I can't believe this has happened to my kids and me . Complete disbelief
I haven't had a day like this in a while

You will get through today. Some days are harder than others but we're all here for you. It's normal to grieve for the life you had planned. Cry all you need to. Try to do something just for you once the kids are in bed, a nice bath or something easy to follow on the TV. It does get easier over time, better days will come for you xxx
Thank you
I am so sorry you feel like this. Like Distressed and pregnant said just try and focus on something nice. Hour by hour.
Good days will come. But this journey is very up and down.

Thinking of you.
We have all been in your situation at some point. This journey is a rollercoaster - there are some ups but plenty of downs.
Hope your kids enjoyed the film - and that you can feel a bit better knowing that they have enjoyed themselves x

Oh bless you. It's so hard but you will get through this. I think holiday times seem to be the worst. I have felt the same. Like others have said, do something for yourself too and know you have everyone here for support x
Some days are so so hard - I feel your pain. Its the ultimate rollercoaster. A year on its a little easier and I look back to last April and wonder how on earth I got through it. I still have lows and difficult days but more adjusted now and experiencing more positives. I think we just have to ride the waves of emotion but do know it does get better x
Just checking in with you . I am a year and a half on from the Knock and 6 months on from sentencing. The affects of the shock of the Knock and aftermath and the grief for our life before the knock has been significant. Last year at this time I was just trying so hard to make it to June . Keeping going whilst supporting my family was mammoth but I did it and so will you . There will be tears , many but your children will keep you grounded . That feeling of not having a place to go to be upset I recognise. Eventually I took the brave step for me to go to a counsellor who helped me process the shock which has really helped . I keep putting one foot in front of the other and head towards the light ahead that I know is there
