Yup. I stopped answering my phone the day mom died, if anyone wants to reach me they can leave a message or send me a text, I get back to them when I'm ready to. It took friends and family a few days to adjust, but now if they are calling to get together or do something, they know to do it in advance. It is VERY freeing to have walked away from that electronic ball and chain.
