Bella's funeral

Just had Bella's funeral today, it was beautiful! My son read out a poem he had written about his daughter and it was so sweet ❤️ both my son and partner were so brave. It was a very hard day today. When jack my son stepped out with Bella's coffin in his arms I thought my heart 💔 would break in half! Everything ran smoothly. We all went back to his house and I came away about 4 hours later. I was exhausted and had to have a sleep for a few hours. I have woke up in agony and ache all over. I really wanted to stay but my body said NO.

Thank you for listening ❤️

I can't imagine how heart-breaking it must have been for all of you but hopefully being able to say goodbye will have helped you all in some small way. You did so well to go back to the house afterwards but now you need to give yourself a chance to recover.

thinking of you and now take care of yourself x

What can I say, such a difficult day for you all, no wonder your exhausted both physically and mentally. Time to be kind to yourself now and get plenty rest to face a new tomorrow. I’m sure your family will need your support for a while yet. Take care ❤️💐🤗X

I'm glad the funeral went well, it's been a pretty stressful time for you and your family so I am not surprised that you are in agony, typical RA, always likes to hit you when you're down. You need a good rest now to get over the last few weeks and I hope you're feeling better soon. x

A fitting funeral for your little Bella and my heart goes out to all of you for drawing that strength to get through the day. All the emotions, feelings, anxiety and upset trying to support your son and his partner will have taken it's toll and no wonder you felt exhausted. Sadly the pain has to come out somewhere and I am sorry your body is letting you know. Take comfort that you all honoured her and will always treasure her inside your heart. Now it is time for you to rest, take care of yourself and each other and reflect. Take care xxx

What a difficult day for you all to get through, but also very important to honour Bella and to recognise that she will always be a part of your family. You must have felt so proud of your son watching him read that poem. Please allow yourself to rest now, your body must be dealing with a lot, both mentally and emotionally. Sending lots of love to you and your family. Xx
