You've got a lot to handle at this time. I'm sending you my best wishes. Life won't always feel this difficult, of course, but getting through this time is going to be tough. It takes strength, and we know you have it.

I cannot fathom what you must be going through, watching your mother like this (and your father, too...). I lost my father 10 years ago, but it was quick, with relatively little suffering. Grief stays with you forever and hits you in waves. Learning to cope with the sudden onslaught of emotions takes time and practice. Give yourself time... you'll get good at this, too.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036007550826655610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-7740100472874370032009-06-22T14:31:20.030-04:002009-06-22T14:31:20.030-04:00Thinking of you and wishing you peace - lauraThinking of you and wishing you peace - lauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-42474856079402886662009-06-22T11:04:06.785-04:002009-06-22T11:04:06.785-04:00grief.

Life...It's very okay to have a breaking heart. Life does move on but it's hard to remember that while things are falling apart. You understand your addictions, your grieving, your touchstones, your pain. <br /><br />Take care of yourself as much as you can, not trying to add more stressors while coping with the existing ones. I agree that stocking up Zoloft is a smart idea to keep you even.<br /><br />Love you lots, my friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-39865736066028307972009-06-21T15:27:11.562-04:002009-06-21T15:27:11.562-04:00My heart goes out to you and your family.

Been through this stuff with both of my (late) parents; it's like trying to do a new, demanding, scary job at the same time that you are grieving and shaky. Good to stock up on your antidepressant. <br /><br />Thinking of you.Anne D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03260726234117823644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-12616056892886526332009-06-21T15:05:37.515-04:002009-06-21T15:05:37.515-04:00Frances-Glad to see you back again.

(I am Jane's niece... met you in Missoula with Mark M.... a million years ago...!) Your blog is terrific... so compelling.. and your photos are so wonderful....Very sorry to hear about your mom; as you say at the end of your piece today... change and loss are inevitable. But heart breaking. And it is okay, and is important, to feel that pain. All the very best to you in the coming weeks, thinking of you, Catherine MCatMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602495184422593809noreply@blogger.com
