The mum of three expressed that grief never goes away, but it is easier to cope with at some times more than others, with the recent ten year anniversary being tough
Pippa O'Connor has opened up about the effect that grief took on some of her earliest years as a parent, after the unexpected loss of her beloved mother Louise.
"I often think I nearly forget Ollie’s first-second year. I always say to Brian, 'Thank God for you at the time because I don’t really remember it.' It was a weird hazy year because it was such a shock." "it’s a weird feeling, it’s like the memory of that person is just getting further away so that’s sad."
"I think sometimes when someone’s gone that really emphasises the happy times more, it’s not just when things are sad that makes you sad it’s when something happy happens like the birth of a baby or something cool happening in business that actually can really make me feel sad as well. You feel bad for her for that person for missing those moments."
"You might feel okay in year one but then you might feel back at square one in year ten, I think you just have to go with it and be kind to yourself." "It feels even harder from the last for some reason.. maybe a decade just feels like such a long time and a feeling of everything becoming more and more distant. It feels like only months ago in one way."
