Clay, thank you for all your supportive words. They help, they really do. So do the virtual hugs. (((((((Hugs!)))))))

YVW my sweet friend! Anytime! You are allowed to feel emotions, and should do them, let them out, mull them over if you wish. You have to remember your heart has been so shattred with so much death & grief in last few months, plus you lost your dad a few years back. This is a heavy toll, singly..but with THREE. That is a TON of grief to work through, way too close together.! Be gentle with yourself.....time is a salve of sorts. Allow your heart to feel whatever it feels....take this one thing...one step...one day at a time. Journal if you have one. It helps me. It is also okay to be "angry" with those who have left you......I wrote a letter to my artner I lost in 2009. It wasn't her choice to leave, but still I was so angry...at the Universe, at doctors, at myself..IF ONLY I had made her get a mammo (never had a one) and was so healthy. Then I burned the letter and buried the ashes.

I am really glad to hear that your mom wasn't injured in her fall, but hoping no more of those.

Write her a letter, more for yourself, thatn her.....just be generic & share general things, or memories, and let her know you love her! I would relish having letters sent to me...if I were in a home. hell, I LOVE getting them now...but never do. I LOVE the notes on the penpal projects and always try to personalize my projects!!

I love you, D!!! ((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))
