I'll be a complete basketcase on the day I lose my Mum and that grief will never leave me. I won't however be posting about it on my PUBLIC business Instagram. People on Instagram would have you believe that no one loves anyone as much as them. I bloody hate it. Go be with your loved ones Caroline instead of raging into a phone online.
I think she is still terribly grief stricken but she thinks her IG page is a means to unleash it .
Where are her proper , long standing friends she would use to pop up on her page to remind her followers she had mates?
When I lost my Dad the first 3 months were hell and I really didn’t think I’d get through it.
Tbh the first year I did what I had to do to get through the day. The thing is, after the funeral everyone else’s life returns to “normal” but yours will never be normal again. That said, people don’t wish to or can’t deal with your grief once the funeral has passed so you grieve in private. Yes, I still talk about my Dad a lot. Most of the time I can smile but there are days, like one day last week, when it hits you out of nowhere and it’s so raw again. So you have a bloody good cry in private, dry your eyes (any recommendations for red, puffy eyes!!)
and then carry on with life.
Caroline is still in the early part of grief and at that stage you truly don’t think you’ll survive it. But you do. It will always be there, you’ll always carry it with you, but you learn to accept that they’re not coming back and you have to live with that. I’ve accepted that I will miss my Dad for the rest of my life and that’s okay. It’s the price I pay for our relationship.
The stuff she is posting on Instagram is very raw and it really should not be on a “professional” account. Tbh I’m not sure it should even be on a private one. People can’t handle another persons grief, not really.
I do find it a bit odd that she’s on holiday and decides to post a montage of photos of her mum. Enjoy your holiday or, if you aren’t up to it, perhaps it would have been better to postpone.
She moans about getting inundated with messages but that’s purely because if you comment on a story it gets sent as a message. I never knew that until one day I saw a message that I’d sent which I thought was just a comment on her story.
the eldest son in particular, and I know looks aren't everything or even important but they are not as attractive or irresistible as Old Ma Hirons would have us believe either"
not sure why Caroline pushes this narrative about them being hot, they are categorically not.
) but handsome or something would seem more appropriate? It would be a lie in this case but at least the term wouldn’t be as creepy
