I can relate to what you have to say. I was the caretaker for my mom too, and it hurt when she passed. She said it herself that she wanted me to be happy and not sad when she was gone. And, it is true that everyone grieves differently. Maybe I was lucky that I got it all out when I first learned the news. It takes some people longer to react. Life is too short, and for me, I do not like feeling sad.
Crista,
So sorry you lost your mom....hope your doing well....sending hugs and thank you for your post....
so if you laugh, and live again, don't feel like you are being disloyal to your wife, your husband, your child, your friends....your mother, father...they would all want you more then anything else, to move on....and whisper, remember me in love and by living your life.
