[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 149369, member: 3419"] Kjs, are you doing any better today? Pain pills won't take away the pain if it's emotional, but you may get a good night's sleep, which will help with-your coping skills. Personally, I'd recommend Xanax for the short term. I would visit a therapist on my own if I were you. You deserve to take care of yourself ... you're always taking care of others. Obviously, your siblings are not included! Your sister blew it, big time. I agree with Marg, that the person receiving the information may have been appalled and think poorly of your sister, not you. At my mother's funeral, one of my s-i-l dominated the conversation at the gravesite talking about an individual she'd never met, who worked with-her husband, who had cancer, and all the issues she was going through. NOT what we needed to hear. We wanted condolences and warm fuzzies. I'm sure that's nowhere near what you went through but all I can say is that people are selfish. Maybe you can create a little ritual for your mom on your own. Gather some photos, go back to the minister or whoever conducted the ceremony, and just start from scratch. It can be your secret little gift to yourself. I'm sorry your son has been lying to you. I don't know the details. I assume he's living at home? Time for him to move out, eh? husband does not sound like he's coming up to the plate for you. You may have to grab him by the collar and give him a wakeup call. Take care of yourself. And please stay in touch with us. [/QUOTE]
