Thanks Candc.
I donīt do anything special to take care of myself, I cry, I try to do normal things I usually do like making dinner and sit on my balcony as long as the weather lets me.
Iīm very sorry for your loss of your mother. Itīs extremely hard to grasp that someone is gone and knowing you wonīt talk to them ever again. I wasnīt present when my aunt passed and I didnīt see her when she was sick, I only talked to her on the phone. So for me, compared to some of my relatives who visited my aunt in hospice, I guess itīs harder to understand that one day she was there, now she isnīt.

It is hard to believe my mom is gone almost 4 months. I always thought she would be there. There is an empty space where I used to relate to her. Somehow I try to do the things that need to be done each day and pay attention to people and how much they are suffering in the world. It does not change what happened but I realize I am not alone in sorrow. The people in Maui lost almost everything. My heart reaches out to them.
Keep on putting one foot in front of the other is what I am doing and paying attention to the needs of other as much as I am able. That is all I can do right now.
Hope you get the support to give you comfort in these rough times. @CANDC
