[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 223349, member: 3626"] Steely, it's already been said by everyone else but I did want to make a suggestion. Keep two journals. One for your for your thoughts to H. The other to M. The journal for M is something you can send him on a weekly basis. I bet he'd love to read what silly thing his dog did or how you handled the snow and cold. I know my daughter liked getting "Mom's Thoughts." This, of course, was on top of any letter I wrote. The letters frequently had the hard-hitting comments. The journal let her know what was happening and that she was thought of daily. In the meantime, just HUGS. I know it is hard to believe but you will survive this. I hate cliches but do use them, especially when true. This is definitely an accurate cliche: Time will make it better. It will give you the distance you need. Sadly, you have much to grieve this holiday. Not just the loss of your beloved sister but the estrangement from your parents and the necessary removal of Matt. I'm sorry. I wish I could take your pain away. [/QUOTE]
