thank you and yes...i know...but still it is little comfort to me

i want her back in the NOW
i just want her back...
don't know what the fuck i'm going to do without her...
there has been so much sadness in my family for the last three and a half years--i'm so ...? i don't know. tired i guess. tired of saying goodbye.

i'm very sorry for your loss

how sad that a funeral service (and the bereaved) has to accommodate a pastor when it should be the other way around

the death of a loved one is an extremely high stressor. take it easy.

i found the bereavement group here after my mom passed and for the last few years it has been a place i have been able to express my grief and thoughts. and i have been so thankful for such a place to do that.

both of my parents loved to rename foods

it's like they thought they were inventing a whole new language

ba-lan-joes (bananas)
gorilla cheese (grilled cheese)
yeggerts (eggs)
ass-per-gas (asparagus)
boo-tree (butter)
ba-log-na (bologna)
maulk (milk--that was my baby word)

i'm sure there were more but it's all i can think of offhand
