According to the calendar, it's been a little over a year since mom died. BUT it doesn't feel like it; it feels more recent to me. More like a few months....

Also, it's like time has stood still in some ways, like I'm still in the "I can't believe it" so-called stage. I know there's no timetable on grief, and there's no "right or wrong" way but I find it to be of little comfort these days.

It doesn't help that my surviving "family" are emotionally unavailable/closed off. (Dad and brother) My dad gets angry if I bring her up, I can't even talk about it with him. And my brother is mad at me and not talking to me, as he resents me for not coming down. Well, I have my side of the story which he isn't going to be receptive to. He's judging me, so be it.

I know time is supposed to make things less painful, as it has for me in general, but time is sure moving slowly.......
