    Susan,

    I am so so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a courageous woman. I know how much the loss of a parent hurts. You could just feel your love for her in all of your posts. Hugs to you and your family.

  2. Hi Marci,

    I'm so glad you had a visit from your mom. Cherish it! I had a couple of dreams with my dad and I remembered every single aspect of the dream and still can. I do believe they are real and come when you need them :)

  3. Just had to share....

    Connor was given the opportunity to choose a project for the 100th day of school. He chose to do 100 jumping jacks and he solicited neighbors, friends and family to sponsor him to raise money for lung cancer. He was able to collect $100 and we are going to donate it to my dad's memorial fund that is set up through Lungevity.

    I am so proud of him! Its amazing what a second grader can accomplish!

  4. Nick,

    That book made me sob way before cancer and kids and I can just imagine what a tough moment it was for you. We need those sobbing moments every once in awhile it reminds us that we are human. Hugs to you!

  5. Michelle,

    I am so sorry for your pain. Please know that what you are going through is real and understandable. I have moments of raw grief over my dad and its been 1 and half years! You have been a caregiver for a long time and now you need caretaking and it sounds like you don't have much. I'm a psychology professor and can lecture on the stages of grief but its a whole other thing when you are experiencing it yourself. I agree with Randy, unfortunately the grief will still be there whether you are drinking or not. Grief takes time but if you can't function then I do hope that you can find some support whether it be individual therapy or a support group. Sending hugs and prayers your way.

    Tammy
