So I have been trying to put together a videography for my Mom's Celebration of Life Memorial coming up soon. It has been the most draining but cathartic thing I have ever done by going through all of the family photos. I can't do more than a couple of hours a day because of the roller coaster it has me on and upsetting at times.

I finally have them all picked out. I saw videos on how to do it and decided it was beyond my scope of computer skills. So I sent it to a company that does it professionally. They are going to add music that I asked the family to pick out to go with it. I was relieved until my family found out I was not doing it anymore.

They are incensed. How I could I?! Besides being emotionally and physically taped out now, I just can't. They have not helped with it, no one is offering to help with it and I am not ashamed to admit, I need help; frankly, I am so relieved and impressed with this company's work that I am thrilled and excited for the collection we are going to get to remember these moments.

Then they were mad that I was happy about it being done as if I should not be happy during this time of grief. Is that so wrong? I thought we were celebrating the amazing person that she was and this is a collection of those moments?! I give up. Just maybe, I'll keep the disc to myself.

Is there something lately that has had you saying... " I give in!" or "I give up!" too ?
