X trainer wk7 r2

[Flart]

Tried to post for wk7 r1 but it wouldn't post. Havnt done any exercise since thin as sadly my Father in law passed away on Wednesday. Massive shock for all the family. Felt a bit normal today so I did wk7 r 2. Hope everyone is ok and doing well.x

So sorry to hear that. I lost my mum-in-law just under a fortnight ago - horrible time. I had known her for 28 years and she was as dear to me as my own mum.

I was running as we approached the 1 week anniversary of her passing and as the actual time got nearer I just couldn't stop thinking about her and had a complete melt down when I finished running. It probably did me the world of good because up until then I had been in Mum mode, worrying about how hubby and the kids were dealing with it, especially my eldest who lives a few hundred miles away.

I guess the run gave me the time and head space to deal with my grief in a way I wouldn't have dreamed of doing at home, and strangely enough, although I still miss her like mad, I have felt a lot stronger and together since that evening.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this really difficult time.

Thanks for your kind words mcc65. Ive known my Father -in-law for over 30years. I too went into Mum mode. Poor hubby is still in limbo and Im very worried about him. men dont deal with death the way women do . Hope its getting easier for you all . take care.x

My poor hubby is describing it as surreal - he knows his mum is gone but because the funeral isn't until next week no-one has said their final goodbyes.

I know what you mean about them dealing with it differently, they probably feel like curling up and sobbing like a child, but instead they just say the occasional thing and the rest of the time they are apparently absolutely fine!!!

We will all get through it with time.

You take care too xxx
