Holidays/security/thoughts/candles/memory

Hi ,
last year it was hard for me and today it’s also hard for me that i can’t be there in person to clean the graves and to light the candles, candles are burning in Polish cemeteries today and it is a day off from work today , time to meet loved ones, a time to remember those who have passed away , tomorrow is All Souls Day,
i came to England to work here and i fell in love with England , my family would never be able to take such a step to come to a foreign country i know this because my mother told me, if i let out all the feelings that i swept under the rug i would feel even worse, i didn’t go on holiday at all because i had my own company to run and it has always been more important to me that the people working there go on vacation/trips than me , a company that was like my child to me , i have never been attracted to warm countries i would rather travel around England and that’s how it was when i was in a relationship with an English boyfriend( on weekends we drove around England )or to travel to Poland , there are so many beautiful places to see in England and in Poland , i had a National Trust membership in the past , if i could choose any place for example which one to visit now i would never choose Egypt,
previously i was very interested in crime science and i liked psychological thrillers
im now burning a candle for my grandparents in my flat , tomorrow is All Souls Day , because i was very interested in criminology in the past as well as unsolved crimes i would never go on holiday alone for example to Egypt, i would never go there even with an accompanying person, Egypt is the last place on earth that i would like to visit, i remember what i felt watching videos on YouTube about Magdalena Żuk who died in Egypt and her fight in hospital, this case was on the minds of all of Polish people , i remember feeling helpless angry and many other feelings and i remember what i felt here in England when i asked for help and what response i received and how i felt when i had a neighbour who invited men over at night and how scared i was and my mother asked me if they invited me to drink with them, ( i don’t drink and i don’t smoke at all , i got traumatised, i still haven’t gotten over it and i thought about her as well and the fear that poor Magda felt in Egypt i believe she was sold by her boyfriend , im very afraid of staying in mental hospital i can’t imagine what she felt and being there alone they made her look crazy and they drugged her with very strong drugs
Kind regards

It sounds like a lovely tradition @Agnia. Be kind to yourself and let yourself feel whatever emotions you need to.
