I'm very sorry Catrin, you have my condolences.
I am so sad to hear this Catrin :-( I cannot imagine how you are feeling right now. If there is anything I can do let me know. I will be praying for you and your family.
We had the memorial service last night and the internment tomorrow morning. I think I've managed to reach some kind of peace with her over these past few years as I had 2 hours of many people telling me that I am the spitting image of her long ago.
At one time that would have been offensive but no longer. She was a beautiful woman who was deeply broken as a small child. Well, she has left all of that behind now, along with the horrible cancer pain, and her final 2 days were very peaceful.
Thank you for the kind words, thoughts and prayers.

What you said about your mom will make my difficult work a little bit easier today. It really resonated with me.
I wish we knew what we know now, back when some of us here were kids.

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.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

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.

Catrin, I would like to add my heartfelt sympathies for the loss of your mother. There's no easy way, I think. But I will say that when I lost my mom in 2007, the sympathies and good wishes of fellow TEers were big comforts for me. I wish you peace of mind and love and support from your good friends and family as you go forward.

So sorry for your loss, Catrin. Take good care of yourself and let others take care of you for a while if you can.
