Children, my mother passed away two weeks ago. I'm holdoing it together better than I thought I would, but maybe that is because the shock hasn't worn off yet. It is a difficult thing because my mother was mentally ill and addicted to Xanax and we had a horrible relationship. Her timing was superb; I was given the news right before my one year celebration. Even in death the woman torments me. I love her, but we never got along, andf now that makes grieving for her somehow worse. Any thoughts?
Never underestimate the power of addiction. Stay safe, my prayers for you and your family.

Hey Vicki and congrats on that year. HUGE.
When my dad passed away last Oct, I wanted to be numb. DIdn't want to feel the pain and grief anymore but it passes. You find things that make you feel better that aren't self destructive. For me it was being with my granddaughter. The self destructive part was gambling..not good.
Just be patient and kind with yourself. This too shall pass.
