One Week Today
Went to the Safeway store today where the Tucson shootings took place a week ago today to support the employees of the store who experienced the terror of that day and to contribute to the victims fund sponsored by Safeway. I have to give Safeway a lot of credit. They were closed for a whole week while the investigation was going on and yet they paid all 81 of their employees their full salaries. Kudos to them. So many people have come together in our community to share their support, love and LOTS of acts of kindness. I went to my first grief support group session yesterday as part of my healing. My brother passed away at a local hospice and they provide grief support. Wish my Mom could go. I feel like I not only lost my brother, but my Mom as well. I just can't imagine what it feels like to lose a child. She is withdrawing into herself and I feel like she's falling into the rabbit hole. Everyone who tries to help her gets shut out. All I can do now is continue to pray for her healing.

Praying for healing is perfect. Trust the process, your Mom needs time to process, and sometimes withdrawing is the only way to have time to understand and the only way to have the space to just cry and cry some more. Sending her flowers , cards, letting her know that you are there for her is helpful, calling her to just say I love you, and if she speaks just listen.
