Larry's Wife Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 It really struck home for me today. I received an email from my youngest stepdaughter. I haven't seen her since Larry's funeral, over 4 months ago. She associates me and our home with her father's death. That's why she hasn't visited me or hardly talked to me, even. If she doesn't come here or talk to me, she can pretend that Larry didn't die. I'm so very grateful that she told me these things. It explains a lot. And it gives me hope that we can come back together as a family when she is able. I'm willing to wait. She's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shineladysue Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Lynn, This time of the year can be so difficult without the ones we have lost. I'm so glad that your step daughter has reached out to you . I hope that you can pick up the pieces and continue with a meaningful relationship. God Bless, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Wife Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sue, I'm thinking the holidays are hitting her quite hard. I think she wants to see me, but yet... I'm praying that the pull of Christmas will bring her near to me. If she will just come close enough to feel my loving arms... Time will tell.

SandraL Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi Lynn. I think it is very brave of her to reach out to you like that. So many times others don't do things and we don't know why and we make incorrect assumptions. And how kind you were to her. I am sure the wait will be worth it and little by little your family will adjust. My thoughts are with you and your son, always and especially at this time of year. Fondly Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Lynn, I'm so glad you got that email. I had a similar reaction from a counsin/sister when I got cancer. I finally email her and asked if I had done something to offend her. She called me right away and apologized saying she feels if she doesn't talk to me she can pretend I'm o.k. She sends lots of forwards and an occasional email and I'm o.k. with it. I know how you feel, I was so angry and hurt at first. People do handle things differently. Glad you are so compassionate with her. Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
