Navigating grief with abandonment issues 🤍

Tomorrow is my Mum’s first birthday in heaven. ❤️

Tomorrow I plan on driving nearly 1.5 hours to visit her grave in my hometown of Omagh.

It’s going to be exhausting. Mentally, emotionally and physically. But it’s something I feel I need to do.

I’ve decided to stay overnight in my TentBox at a nearby campsite, for a number of reasons really.

The drive there, the visit and then the drive home all in one day would simply be too much for me at the minute, energy-wise.

I also want to give myself a little time afterwards to reconnect with nature, ground myself and allow my nervous system to settle.

And quite frankly… isn’t it getting baltic out there?! 😂

Winter is approaching, and this could be one of my last opportunities to spend an evening in my little mobile tent on wheels (my second home lol) before the temperatures really start to drop!

Sometimes we have to make a little extra space for ourselves, especially on the days that matter. ❤️
