[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 11087, member: 393"] Thank you ladies. It isn't interfering with everyday life. Donna, this is exactly what you described. My dad, brother & I went through pictures & my mother's favorite music. The funeral home put this tribute together & showed it during the viewing. Suz, it has only been 2 weeks. I think our culture, as a whole, tends to have trouble with loss & grieving. Or any sad or out of ordinary life events. Martie, I like the idea of journaling - I've been doing that on a daily basis. It's a good idea to write down thoughts & feelings that hit me after I watch this. TM, I'm sure that everyone is watching for signs of deep depression - it has been a tough year. The tweedles, husband in rehab, mom's illness & death plus everything in between. I've been living life on the edge & at times looked down. There are times I like looking down at the crevasse, others when it terrifies me. I'm working on this in therapy. And having said that - while I was away at my retreat with husband the week before my mother died, the priest gave me a prayer to say as much as I needed to (but at least once daily). God, hang onto me. It seems to work & give me peace - as does watching my mother's tribute. I expect that I will back off on watching this a bit at a time. My mother raised me to be a strong, competent woman & I am. I will continue to keep moving - if nothing else, in her honor. Thank you all - it's been a relief to "talk" to others with-o the judgements. Without the discomfort. [/QUOTE]
