Jen – it is too close – too open – too raw. Nearly a year went by during which I couldn’t write about any of this. I have thought of my mother every single day. I am looking at a picture of her now. I am trying to get back into it, because I think it is still a story that needs to be told. But by hiding from it, I have lost some of the details that can only be expressed when you are living it – like you are now. Keep doing what you are doing, if nothing else but because in the writing, it helps put it in perspective, and if you help someone else in the process (which you already have: me), then you have done something important. For me, the perspective has changed. It is now my way of hanging on, but also a way of thinking about how this life is a chance to help the ones I love, and thinking about what they might take with them after I am gone.

What a beautiful post. I still haven’t found all the beauty that you have. One day I will. I have chosen to remember the good things and the bad have faded away. But I am still numb. Climbing out but still not there yet. I’m so glad you are finding peace.
