Hi Lexicon,

I wouldn't have liked that either.

Didn't you say your relationship with your Mom was very limited. I believe this is why all of the material things you have left from her are so precious to you. I have heard that for those of us who either had a painful or incomplete relationship with our mothers, this is what happens. It is very hard to move past the loss as other people do. A good therapist may be able to help.

Love,

EJ
