Lookback: 1 week after mum's death

“Expected boyfriend to show up after mum's death”

Boyfriend unable to come due to medical cannabis and social anxiety, leading to hurt and anger

What I wish I knew
"He would've sorted passport and visa before my mum's death"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly about expectations and limitations in long distance relationships"
