With my mom, it almost feels like I havent really dealt with it..who knows, maybe it will come down like a ton of bricks on me one of these days.
It was February 11, Geo. I had it in my PMs because P4B drew my attention to your post at the time, and I've kept it in there, just like I kept the note I sent to him when my sister died. Hope it's OK that I told you. Anniversaries and dates of big life events have meaning for me. And if it feels like you haven't dealt with it, it's probably just because you're dealing with it as you can. I feel like I've "dealt" with Bess's death all year, feeling it, writing about it, grieving, talking, etc. But that hasn't fundamentally changed anything in my own acceptance or psychological state. I still feel just as sad as I did right after it happened, only it's a bit more distant now.
