Just me


Everyone seems to think I am being hard on my brother.  Maybe I am.  Maybe something inside of me will soften.  But right now I am deeply, deeply hurt.

And the fact that this coming Sunday is Mother's Day isn't helping anything.  Even before mom passed Mother's Day's ads were all over the place.  Every time I saw/heard one it feels like a knife stabbing into me.

Dad and I both see a grief counselor on Monday (different counselors but at the same place).  I hope we both can come away with something that will help us deal with our feelings better.

Kathy

    I have a hard time with this holiday too...it's easier this year than last, but it'll always be a sad day on the calendar.

    Kathy,  as the sister of a brother who didn't go to the calling hours or the funeral of my mother -- I completely understand.

    Dear Kathy,  I am glad to read that you are seeing a grief counselor on Monday. I will be praying that she/he can help.  I waited for over two years before I realised that that was what I might need and once I did it did help...not at once by any means...but after a while it became easier to cope but now it is 14 years this last week since Mum died it is still hard...Much LOve Sybil xx

    Mother's Day will always be hard for you, I guess.  My mom is gone 11 years now and I still cannot bear this holiday.  I'll pray for peace in your heart on Sunday, it's the best I have to offer.  Love, Penny  http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere
