[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 373344, member: 3419"] I am so glad that your mom has money now and can travel and do as she wishes. Silver linings and all that. It's going to take her a long time to recover her life. It will be strange to her. She will have mixed feelings of guilt, anger, resentment and elation. You are doing amazingly well. Wow, he really did hoard. Sounded relatively organized, though. I can really identify with-your note. I bought a cpl bks on parenting your own parents, and one really good one was TAKING CARE OF PARENTS WHO DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF YOU, by Eleanor Cade. This really resonates with-me: [I]Even if we've managed to detach from the destructiveness that surrounds that person, there is always a hole in us created by the missing relationship we've always longed and hoped for. And in death, the realization that the hole can never be filled hits you hard. [/I] [/QUOTE]
