Hope It Doesn't Bore You

[DianaB]

We know that it's hard, Janet, and we want you to let us know how you're feeling. Losing a parent is so hard. Your brothers weren't with your Mom every day......through good and bad.....so they don't understand how you feel. You'll have days like this one every once in a while......it's part of the grieving process. We love you!!! Hugs!!!!

Before I went on my afternoon route yesterday, I stopped at the mailbox and decided I'd just check the mail once I got to school. I won't do that anymore. There was a large sturdy envelope that I opened. There was a very nice book from local merchants called The Healing Heart. It has some articles in it to help deal with grief, a place to record 3 generations of family and it had Mom's name embossed on the front. I don't think the kids saw that I had been crying, because they didn't take long looks at me or anything. I think I covered it up pretty good.

From now on....all mail will be opened at home.

Oh Janet......Here's a big hug....

This is such a hard thing to go through, Janet. We are all here for you.

Just keep on feeling whatever you feel, and share it here. Ignore your brother, and anyone else who sticks their 2 cents in. They don't know what you feel like inside, and it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I hope little by little you will start feeling better. Like everyone else said we are here for you. We understand and don't mind when you cry or have to repeat things to get off your chest.

I honestly and I mean honestly....I don't know what I would do without you all. At times I feel so bad for putting this all on you. It is so hard...harder than I ever imagined. I do come away from here feeling better...I know it will take time....most likely quite awhile. Thank you for letting me share these feelings of grief. I love you all so much.

I had to end a friendship years ago because she never shared her own feelings. I think real friends want to be there for each other, whether it's joy or pain. It connects us by our hearts, Janet.

Love and hugs to you.
