I remember quite a few things from my childhood, but there is one thing that I cannot recall, and I wish I could.
My Darling Dad died suddenly when I was 14 years old. I remember that day well, I will never forget it. He meant absolutely everything to me.
However, on the day of Dads funeral, I remember the funeral flowers arriving at our house, I remember the Funeral director. I remember shaking hands with my Dad's boss at the cemetery, I remember some of the journey home.
I just cannot remember Dad's actual funeral. I have tried so hard to remember, but my mind is completely blank.
My older brother ( who turned out to be not a very nice person over the years ) told me shortly after the funeral that I did not care about our Dad because I did not cry at the funeral.
It broke my heart at the time because I did not remember anything and I felt so bad that I did not cry.
Hindsight tells me that I must have been traumatised and that my mind must have blanked out the thing that I could not face.
Gransnetters, have any of you experienced anything like this?
I would love to hear your experiences.
