[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 11097, member: 59"] Linda, My Dad went to the cemetary to visit Mom every single day for 2 years. No one even suggested to him that he stop, we knew he would do it in his own time and he did. During that time if I was visiting him when I got ready to leave he would say OK I'll go too now to visit Mom. The cemetary was on my way home so I would follow him and visit Mom too. When it was time to leave he told me to go ahead and he would leave shortly. I'll never forget watching him standing there as I pulled away, I cried every time. We made a lot of memories those years. He fed the geese(until the groundskeepers asked him not to) and he watched one for months that had plastic string wrapped around it's leg so tight it couldn't fly. One day he asked me to help him catch the geese and free it from the string. We did and and I have a picture of him holding this geese and me using my nail clippers to cut the string. I don't know why I remember this story now. But my point is that two weeks is a very short time and if watching the video you made for your Mom helps you in this grieving process then it is OK. I believe at some point you will watch the viseo less and less, not because you are forgetting but because you will not have that need to remind you of your Mom and the love you all had.
