Mourning is healthy. And I LOVE Dominique Browning's writing. I used to get House and Garden just to read her Letter from the Editor years ago and I recall from her first book how vividly she described taking grief out on a piano, playing for hours on end, having had given it up for years. Miss Bear is turning 12 on Monday and I see things changing for her…..and I keep hoping she will hold on until my oldest is out of the house…but I also feel that might be unrealistic too. Guess I just want to prolong the pain coming for all of us, but especially for my older son. It's not easy. Lots of love to you today!
Oh Katie only wish I could reach through the screen to give you a hug of compassion, and caring. The post from Dominique's blog was perfect and I was so pleased to read it. We are preparing for my mom's memorial in May & it's like going through her loss starting from day 1. Just know although we've never 'really' met, I care. Sending love xx
I'm sending you hugs and my thoughts. I think it is only natural to mourn, and the better you do it…the better you'll feel.

Hugs and kisses to you
Oh Katie, I'm so sorry for whatever you're going through. I do know that it's only when you allow yourself to do it as much and as long as you need to that it can turn around–a few months ago I was resigned to never being out of this phase, and that's when things started to get a little better. I'm sending you lots of good thoughts and wishes.
