Listen for the conclusion of the will of my late Grandmother. If I knew 9 months ago how negatively effect my mental health I would have prepared regular visits with my therapist Megan and started taking my anti-depressants. Do not underestimate how easily decade old emotional wounds can be opened with just a single phone call.

WARNING: This episode is rough to listen to. My feelings are raw and may upset some listeners. Please note that I only speak for myself and my own mental health.

Just a quickie to say hi and check in for those like myself dreading this Sunday. If you need a support network may I suggest joining the Facebook Community that is Motherless Daughters. This is the best support network of women I have ever come across - no bitchiness, no criticism, just love and acceptance.

For those interested in attending a Mother's Day Memorial Service held by White Lady Funerals see the Facebook events for this Saturday & Sunday below;
