...and it wasn't REALLY to do with BB ending.

Brian winning started making me feel emotional as Brian was my Mum's favourite Big Brother housemate of all time. I managed to hold it together but then they showed that Music video of the housemates singing 'Time to say Goodbye' which was the song we played at my Mum's funeral, it was her favourite.

I still managed to hold it together but when the credits rolled and the show completely finished it was then I realised that BB had occupied and distracted me every evening (particularly this years) and now I don't have that distraction anymore. I then got walloped by the huge emotional train, something I was not expecting, and that basically started me off.

Weird that a tv show can have that sort of affect on you eh?

Maybe it was time to let it all out, I hope you feel better for it.

It would be a long time before you can remember your mum and everything mum related and not get emotional.

Yeah, I think it was overdue. Last time I cried for her was at her funeral, which was the beginning of August.

It`s not weird Rawky. When you`re grieving it can happen at the most unexpected times.
Although, hearing your Mum`s song was bound to effect you.

It`s good to let it out. You maybe don`t think so at the time but it really does help. It`s a release.

Yep, I understand that Rawky. It`s tiring when you`ve cried and thought about things.

When you get home, have a good long candlelit bath with lots of bubbles.

Rawky - I didn't know you'd lost your mum it must have been while I was on holidy - so sorry - if the funeral was at the beginning of August that's no time at all - It's completely normal tp have a good old cry now and again. It's 9 years since I lost my Mum and there's not a day goes by when I don't think of her.

Maybe you won't have the Big Brother distraction, but I feel there will be other distractions - nothing is as certain as change. But - importantly - there will also be times when you don't want a distraction. Times when you want to remember lovely things in all their fulness.

Thanks Skylark. There`s nothing like a good laugh.

Don`t want to detract from this thread though. Rawky is one one of the funniest fm`s on the forum so I`m sure he`ll appreciate it.

perfectly understandable. I love what Brisket posted there - you will get there. It's six years I lost my Mum and I still 'talk' to her in my head (and sometimes out loud) and you get to a point where you can laugh and joke and remember the good times. I still find myself thinking I'm going to tell her stuff. Don't be surprised if you have another sobbing session... i was getting ready for work one morning about a year or so after I lost my Mum and GMTV was on... they were doing one of the early morning competitions where they knock on people's doors and this old-ish woman answered the door... hair up on end, long brushed nylon nighty, no teeth in (!)... and she looked so like my Mum (sorry Mum!) I laughed out loud... then sat on the bed and burst into tears and spent the next 10 minutes crying my eyes out! Go with the flow, hun

The ending of the show was so resonant for you Rawks for many reasons.
