I was going through one of my old notebooks yesterday, copying down info into a proper and new one, when I ran across the name and number of a dear friend and mentor who passed away two years ago. I sat there and cried.

nah. nuttin' weird about how you are feeling. As we get older we will be dealing with loss a helluva lot more often than we used to. Some of us will get over it fast and the rest of us will always mourn - perhaps with less intensity as time goes on.

My Mother's Hospice Soc Wkr told me that there are the 3 T's of grief.

Time ~ Talk ~ Tears

I've Talked about losing Mother, cried a whole lot of Tears and am now waiting for TIME to do it's part.

Everyone deals w/grief so differently. I don't handle it well at all.

I want you all to know that your responses have been blessings to me.
Lizard - That made such perfect sense to me, thank you.

Daisymay :hug::hug::hug: I remember your posts on MSW about your mother. I think I am still in the tears stage...can't quite seem to get past that yet...looking forward to time doing its part as well. I sincerely hope you are doing ok....

Hugs to all of you!! :grouphug:
