I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I lost my mother a year ago this Sunday. I won't give you all the cliche lines that I'm sure you've been hearing, but I will say this, hang in there. There will be days when you don't feel like you can get out of bed, but just know that it's ok to give yourself some time to grieve. Be strong for your children and yourself. If you'd like to talk, I'm a good listener. Take care and be strong.
