This says it all to me: 'There used to be two of us, and now there's only one of me and mummy was very good at a lot of things and we were a team.' Just being able to say that openly to your kids is something that I believe will imprint on their hearts (maybe invisibly right now) but in the long term I profoundly believe it will help their own healing - just saying it simply and honestly and vulnerably like that. In fact it's your mid-life marvellousness xxx
I love your humor and vulnerability and self depreciation and authenticity. And of course, of course(!!!!) your child asks you if your having a mid life crisis. In a way, the answer is a big, fat, understatement of a yes. It's a giant hole-in-your-heart of a crisis.
And the early wake ups and the schlepping to and from and the three dinners without your beloved to hold it with you is a lot, compounding what is already a lot.
I really hope so Jessica. Thank you for suggesting it might. And I feel a long way from marvellous but im grateful for the idea as something to aim for…
