[QUOTE="donna723, post: 11081, member: 1883"] Linda, you're still "processing" what happened and coming to terms with your moms' death, making your peace with it. Grief is such a personal thing and everyone experiences it differently. I would think that if it gives you comfort and doesn't upset you, you should do it. If YOU don't feel like it's an "obsession" and as long as you don't end up watching it 24/7, what's the harm? Probably no different than looking through old photo albums, etc. It's only been a few weeks ... you should do whatever you need to do to grieve in your own way. I have a good friend at work who lost his father last summer. They had a beautiful video that they were showing at the funeral home that was made up of lots of their old family pictures with their dad. And they all seemed to take great comfort from it, smiling and telling old family stories that the pictures reminded them of and all of them saying how lucky they were to have had their dad as long as they did. They all got copies of the video to take home with them and they treasure them. It was lovely really. [img]:smile:[/img] Sending lots of hugs. [/QUOTE]
