Hi, I saw your comment about Thanksgiving and can totally relate.I lost my mom to cancer almost 2 years ago and that whole spiel people say about time healing is BS. As long as I am living, I will miss my mom who was my best friend. You have a lot of connections that are the same as me. I lived in Antioch as a little kid and my sister's birthday is May 28. The positive thing I focus on is my children, but even that makes me sad b/c I think of all what my mom is missing  out on!

Thank you, Mercy for your kind words, in the midst of your own suffering.  I'm so sorry you are so alone in your grief and that your husband is no help!  Maybe you can find a support group, or some people who at least have been there and can understand.  My issues aren't with my parents, but as I told you, my sister in law and brother, but I know this too, shall pass.  

Hi Mercy, thank-you for your kind comment.  I'm so sorry that you lost both your mom and your brother.  That's a double whammy, but it sounds like you're making great strides with getting through it.  I'm so happy to hear you have a daughter.  I have a feeling the two of you will be best of friends and she'll be the source of so many wonderful days ahead.  She's definitely one great big reason to be alive and well.  I also live in the Nashville area and I was seeing a grief counselor for awhile and she's the one who told me about the Alive Hospice, so I hope you'll try it.    Anyway, I hope you're having a good day and hang in there!  You've got so much going for you already and I feel a lot of positive things are coming your way!
