Today has been a hard day...

Oh my, I have had a hard day preceded by a hard weekend.
How many times did I go to the phone this weekend to let Mom know we were home safe? How many times did I think, "Oh I have to show Mom the pictures from Mexico?"
Today is the 2nd of the month and I have been weepy all day. Then Carl called me at work to say he will be away on a charter trip this weekend. I immediately thought," Oh I will go see Mom."...sigh. So I am a wreck, all over again. My ankle is better but today everything hurt and my concentration at work was completely off.

Aw. I'm sorry. Hugs.

I remember somebody coming into my office at work and picking a fight with me just as I was thinking, this time last week my mother died. I think she was a bit disappointed with the lack of response she got. It will pass, but just not all at once.

It can't have been me who recommended the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - I'm not a fan, although I really like Arnaldur Indridason and Karin Fossum, oh and Jo Nesbo. Hugs anyway :)

Oh Helen, I am sorry, I was confused from whom the recommendation came ....sigh. I hardly know my own name these days, however, I do appreciate the author suggestions and will look them up. I recieved a beautiful e mail today from a godly woman who admired my mother very much. It was very touching but has only exemplified my loss. I am such a mess.

So sorry you're suffering. Queen Elizabeth said, "Grief is the price we pay for loving." and your Mom was very much loved.
There does come a time when you can tuck your sadness away in a special place and the hurt becomes more bearable. I hope you will be feeling better soon.
