Things that make you blub - unexpectedly

This post has me crying now!
I often wake up crying, I think because covid changed everybody’s lives and shook the way we expected to live and now nothing can be taken for granted.
That is in itself a good thing but it’s harder to embrace when you’re past retirement age.

Condolences to all those on here with such sad losses.

The thing that reduces me to tears every time is the poem "Strange Meeting" by Wilfred Owen. If you don't know it already, please read it and see if you can get through it without tears. It's so appropriate now in this time of war
.

Madeinyorkshire. I am so sorry for your loss. Have you got lots of support? X

Last post for me too

What a dreadful thing to happen - MadeInYorkshire. I am so sorry..

My daughter died unexpectedly on Thursday, I cannot stop blubbing, I am heartbroken ....

There are no words are there ? Cannot imagine your turmoil, amazed you have been strong enough to post so soon, shows you must need to reach out, hope your family are being supportive.

So much dad news on here (((hugs))) to you all who are grieving .

MadeInYorkshire so very sorry to hear of the death of your daughter.

Hellogirl I'm so sorry for your loss too 🌹💔

MadeinYorkshire - sorry for your loss, you must be so sad.
I think that you are right about the three robins, they are very territorial and rarely seen in groups.

The hymn Jerusalem. I can't hear it or sing it without tearing up.

Quite embarrassing at our wedding, as that was one of our hymns!

When my younger son was about 7 he was in hospital just before Christmas. One evening a small choir of young nurses came round and sang carols in the ward to all the children lying in bed. Sob! I remember my son being baffled and a bit mortified by me trying to stop sniffing.

Have just watched chimp video and I'm in bits!

MadeinYorkshire the tears welled up when I read your post. Heartfelt sympathy.
I have been crying quite a lot lately. Two months ago I joined the club no-one wants to be a member of when my darling husband died. Other widows are the ones who help.
I think there is an organisation for bereaved parents which you may find helpful .

You cry as much as you need to, the thought of what you are going through brought me to tears too.
If you can accept some love from a complete stranger. Here is some for you ❤️💔❤️

The hymn 'I vow to the my country' at any funeral.

Made In Yorkshire, please accept my sympathy in your grievous loss … 💐💐💐

MADEINYORKSHIRE. My thoughts are for you. So sorry to hear your sad sad news. 🌸

MadeinYorkshire No words. Just a heartfelt hug.

Sincere condolences to you both too

MadeinYorkshire and Hellogirl1 - my heart goes out to both of you as I know how agonising it is to lose a child (a 32 year old new mum in my case). I find that less things make me cry now, 120 weeks on, but your posts bring the pain back. Sending you heartfelt sympathy.

MadeInYorkshire Sincere condolences. Thinking of you x

Sago me too. No matter how hard I try not to cry. 😭. I do cry very easily though. I think it’s inherited as my mum was the same.
