I’m so lonely!

I feel like I’m the only one in my kind of shoes. Full time working mom, only have weekends off. The boyfriend works 6 days a week. So my Saturday is spent just me and my kids.

Single at Christmas

Isn’t being single at Christmas just very lonely? So greatful for my little boy, he makes the day so magical! But can’t help feel a bit sad at the same time, especially seeing everyone else in their happy families on social media. No idea what the point in this post is but just had to share somewhere!😂

Thoughts with you all ❤️

I just wanted to let anyone know that’s suffering with their grief today, that you aren’t alone. I’ve not yet left bed and the tears have been sporadic. I lost my baby at 11+6, 5 days ago. Just do whatever you need today. But don’t feel alone. We are together in our grief.
