My mom...sad news

[Catrin]

I am home, and still in some shock over the events of last week and also some things I learned about her. Just a lot of sad stuff that showed how broken she was. I am considering some professional help in processing all of this, at least for a brief time. I don't want to be blindsided by the past as the grief process settles in. While it helps to know she wasn't well, that doesn't mean it won't come up for me.

That's tough stuff, Catrin--and territory I'm all too familiar with given my mother's own difficult childhood and life. I have the name of a good professional if you decide to go that route.

Catrin - I don't know how I missed all this but I'm so sorry for your loss. I think your idea of seeking professional help to work through what you've learned is wise. My thoughts are with you as you mourn and heal.
