    About Me

    I have depression with anxiety. I am a christian. I am British and moved to America several years ago. I still get homesick from time to time. My husband is American. My mum passed away in June 2006 and I miss her so much.

    Interests

    I enjoy reading, cooking, taking long walks in the park and traveling. I like gardening and to sit out in my garden whenever the weather is good. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music. I do believe in an afterlife and that angels look after us in day to day life here.

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My mum passed away in June 2006, My mum lived In England, I could not get back home in time for the last goodbye. It was so sudden, I thought that she would recover and come home from hospital. I phoned the hospital each day to see how she was doing that final day(saturday), I was totally heartbroken to hear that she died. I went back home to arrange her funeral it was 3 days after my birthday. It still hurts each day. And in that same month, a week after my mums passing my two cats died.
