Hi Kelly~ I read this thread when you first posted it and felt the need to revisit. I usually pass the Grief Forum by; maybe b/c if I don't stop and read, well~ then I don't have to confront my feelings.

You already know that I lost both my parents w/in 3 1/2 yrs, w/Mom just last June. We did so much together. She was my shopping buddy, my phone buddy and just amazing in so many ways. My DH considered her his Mom too.

I can't believe how much I still miss her. Time was supposed to fix that, right? I miss my Dad too, but when he passed, we still had Mom, and she held us together *5 kids and families*

I'm not angry, just still feel so much sadness w/o her.

Guess I just needed to vent that.

And, Kelly~ I know how much you have lost; and you always show so much strength and poise. I'm sure it hasn't been an easy ride for you either. Thanks for listening.
