Oh I've heard about these, not sure if they are new or just on my radar more but I feel like I've heard about them a fair bit lately. Sounds fun. BBB escape room meet up? Haha.

Could you imagine a group of BBB members meeting up together and doing that? Haha. Bring the cameras it could be a VERY entertaining reality show special!

I feel like some of you I would really genuinely get on with. You guys are my kind of people. :happy:
 
Good moaning OT thread!

I have had an action packed few days! I am officially an orphan! My mum has finally been set free from her life, and us kids are doing what we always seem to do and clean up the mess, but this will be the last time.

She got to leave us with the ultimate mind fuck, due to not being found for three days. Who knew that it was the families responsibility to organise that sort of clean up stuff?! $730 to despose of a bed! We have left her unit open, so hopefully the smell will be better when we all meet at the end of next week.

I am going through the obvious emotional rollercoast which feels bipolar in itself. I go from suffocating guilt, to heartbreak, to anger, to laughter, all in 10 minutes. Because of the disorder there, I was nominated to go through her paperwork and contact Centerlink and so on, I spent most of the night going through mountains of paperwork, and it looks like she has kept every fucking Telstra, energy, gas bill she ever got, and kept every card I ever sent, so so sad.

We want to sort it together, so we are waiting for my middle brother to return from Indo next week, then the lot of us are going to meet at Mums unit and clean, reminisce, and de-hoard. Both of my brothers are super funny, I mean could be comedians funny, so it will be a lovely way to say goodbye to her together, and close this chapter of our lives.
 
@Trala, so very sorry for you, your family and your loss, especially under those circumstances. Hugs to you as you deal with the overwhelming emotions. Hopefully the smell will have dissipated somewhat by next week and the clean up will be easier. Do remember her with love, laughter and smiles. Raise a glass, get angry, celebrate and enjoy the company of your siblings. xx

Thanks Fiona.

It is a terrible thing to say out loud, but it is a relief. She couldn't control her addictions and it made her life and our lives for that matter, hell. I am my mothers daughter in many ways, I understand addiction well. Thankfully I was born into the no excuses support generation, where you have guidance everywhere.

I spoke to her on Saturday and I didn't tell her I loved her, I now need to live that and the role I played in our mutual dysfunction. I really hope it doesn't haunt me, know what I mean?

Thinking of you and your family @Trala
It kind of jolts you when you come on here first thing in the morning expecting light relief and you suddenly realise that someone you care about (yes, over the internet, but it still counts) is going through something life-changing.

Thanks, babe. It truly counts and I feel the same way about you.

Life is life changing. I just mentally chant that I need to accept the thing I can not change, find the courage to change the things I can, and find the wisdom to know the difference. It is what it is, and I will be okay.

I WILL be okay.

Praying for you in this time Tra xx
 
Aw I am very sorry to hear that @Trala!! X :(

Thinking of you.

I was wondering where you have been for the past few days and thought you would have been having a lovely Easter break with your partner. X

My thoughts are with you @Trala - so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the immense range of emotions you're feeling right now in addition to the regular stages of grief, but hopefully you can find peace in the situation soon. Take care xx
