I'm so sorry for your loss. I did find that those early days with all the tasks the easiest in some ways, the empty sort of quiet that sets in later can be harder. Thanks for sharing. I hope you are able to hold on to memories while also letting go, as you put it.

Yes, the first three weeks have been busy and distracting in many ways. I know the sadness will come in waves.

I am so sorry for your loss Jeanette. Send you a hug (with your permission) I love that you say grief is not content it’s your experience. I lost my Mum 21 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Grief isn’t content buts it’s the words that will drive comfort in other caregivers who are struggling knowing that they aren’t alone. Thank you for sharing this!
