I remember w...Dear Ann, losing a parent is so hard. I remember when I asked a friend, who was a chaplin, how does one accept the death of a parent? She responded, perhaps we never "accept" it and instead accomodate the reality into our consciousness and learn to have a different relationship with them. I liked that because I could "feel" my mom around me. Like today, when I was returning home from the doctor's and I could feel the need to shop at GW's (Goodwill, one of our favorite places we loved the segunditas, second-hand stores), when I did I found some great finds. I say, thanks mom! don't worry about being too "woe is me" it is sad, sweetie, don't apologize. You are so loved and thanks for sharing what you do. Know that if you ever need to talk, I am HEAR. my number is 602-481-6809. peace to your aching heart, I can't say that it stops hurting, but it does heal and the smile returns. peace and good, always, mdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-70488216008729228702010-11-24T12:06:20.220-07:002010-11-24T12:06:20.220-07:00Oh Ann.

But the end can be very unexpected. That happened to Steve's mom who battled cancer for years and died rather suddenly after she seemed to be in remission.<br /><br />I for one like to read both the bad and the good. But you've got to do what is right for you. I will miss your posts but understand. I hope you have a nice holiday. Peace be with you.
