Shoes, A Pastor, Meds And I
To my my total surprise there now was a Reno-Shoe-Shop opposide Bro´s Shop.
I went in and found some super-cute green shoes, summer shoes, high-heels. I can´t walk in them, but tried them on none-the-less.
And then I simply walked out.
Did I get in barefooted?
I´d never ever do that. Really, never. Not pay.
Plus... we have stormy, rainy, cold winter-weather and there is no space for such a shop there.
And how would I "walk" out in shoes like that?!
Plus... Reno... gah.
My friend P was suddenly there, too and I told her I had "something" to do in there, but the shop was closed. I wanted to give em back, secretly.
P opened the door and they were on total sale, full of people, that tiny shoe-shop.
I saw the most creative shoes, green ones, mostly, often in my size even and tried some on.
P found some shoes with "fur" and asked me to look and if they suit her.
I really tried to help her and afterwards looked down and found myself in old, ugly brown shoes way too big for me.
And never found the green ones I wanted to give back.
What did happen?
Long story short: I went to the little pharmacy around the corner yesterday, needed two things, one a Tranquilizer, which they had to order. I said I wanna pay now - like always! (with my ever-needed eye-drops, they always have to order) - wondered about the low price, but really... these days I´m not my usual self.
Came back at 6 pm and the other girl wanted me to pay for the darn Tranquilizer. I was like huh? I had no money with me.
The first girl is a bit dumb. I usually pay for everything, why would I split it and make it more complicated?!
I was told to take the meds home and pay later.
And still felt so bad that I dreamed such a weird stuff about "stealing"!
Long story long:
I called my doc yesterday after I kinda lost in when trying to talk to the Pastor about Mum. I got teary, hands shivering, even my legs were jiggling.
The Pastor is probably a wee bit older than I, longer hair, very open-minded, understanding, clever, also good-looking ;-)
I calmed down, also cause Bro talked like forever.
We were to talk about Mum´s life-story and tried to find out when she was working in Helgoland.
On the chair I sat the coat my Mum gave me ages ago was hanging. She had bought it in 1965 in Helgoland, that I knew.
The Pastor tried a peek but, well... I was sitting there, right?
When he left I had Mum´s last days so present again, I was about to "loose" it again, but saw the Pastor took a longer look at the coat.
Terminal care... these shoes just are too big for me.
That´s why I called my Doc and asked for help.
I try to find the right dose today.
I don´t wanna nearly "break" down like I did on Dad´s funeral.
Am I weird, weak or what else? Did you accompany some loved ones in their last, difficult days, is it normal to need so much time to get over it?
I dread the funeral tomorrow.
Do you have tried Tranquilizers?
"Good" thing: Doc turned my "holiday" into sick-leave. This really is no holiday.

Iris, in times of grief there is no such thing as 'normal' but I think it's fair to say that you've only just lost your mum and it is completely understandable that you're terribly upset. From what I understand from your blog your relationship with your mum was complicated and while you reached some peace with her in her last days that's got to prey on your mind too. Do whatever you need to do to get through it - if your doctor thinks tranq's will help then use them. Only use what he/she prescribes and speak to him/her again if you feel like you're not coping. It will take time for the hurt of losing your mum to fade, and even then it will rear up at odd times - that is all normal and nothing to be ashamed of. Sending you buckets of love and sympathy. And remember your last post about your mum being so strong? I'm willing to bet you inherited just a little bit of that strength too. xx
