Take care Janet.

I did get rested last night, thank you Kim. Rick is doing good. He's one of those that will have his moments in the days to come, but keeps busy. When I got up this morning I saw a list on the table of things he needed to get done today and tomorrow. That is how he handles things.

Janet ~ I hope now that a few days have passed and you've had some time to rest, you can begin to reflect on the happier more special moments you've shared with your MIL.

To me, I always feel comforted knowing that I don't ever have to completely let go when I experience a loss. The memories stay within my heart and bring joy. I to hope you can start to live all that.

Janet, you've been through a rough few days this week. This week should be a "Take care of Janet" week and you should really take some time for yourself. Losing someone is so draining on our emotions and makes us feel so tired and worn out. Just take a few extra moments to rest or nap and baby yourself so you'll be rested and ready to help your husband with his loss.

Thanks ladies....it really has been a rough few days. Today I spent it cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, reading a few posts online and then Lynne called and we chatted a while.

It's funny that even though I didn't just lay around and rest...just getting back in the normal routine helps. We have tomorrow off from school, besides being the holiday, it was a snow make-up day for us and well...since we haven't missed any school because of snow...we get to stay home. YEAH!!!!
