Olivia. <br />PS: one year, after I had to have a second, more extensive mammogram to investigate something that looked suspicious, and then got the ‘all clear’, the hospital decided to personally solicit me for a donation. It was a creepy reminder to be grateful.

...Abrazos fuertisimos. Thank you for sharing this.<br />Your mom , you are amazing. I remember you riding her on your bike. I always thought that was so cool/sweet/fun.<br /><br />I remember the hospital bag with his belongings. Wearing my dad flannel shirt for the longest time. The only thing I have left now is the gold fountain pen he wrote with everyday. Well, the painting that hang in my mom’s house. All of this little things and memories are special.<br /><br />My dad died suddenly 11/28/1985. He was 41 , had just turned 41 ,2 weeks before. He died on Thanksgiving day that year. I am not a fan of November. “Wake up when November ends..”. I replace the September. I wish.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your memories, feelings.<br /><br />Xoxox<br />Connienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-7560226989818463082023-11-17T19:38:33.016-05:002023-11-17T19:38:33.016-05:00Too enjoyable.

My mom wore one of my dad's too-big fleece jackets, and now I've taken it out of her closet and I'm wearing it. It's not even that soft and comfortable anymore. Maybe it never was; I don't know.<br /><br />When I knew you and Bill together, I was young and so self-absorbed in the way that i now know undiagnosed depression and anxiety makes you unable to see much beyond yourself. But even through that lens, I could see how you and Bill adored each other. I admired your relationship. It felt good to be around you, because your energy together was so positive and loving. I know you are right that he is proud of you--he always was and always will be. <br /><br />I do believe she's here for me. I believe my dad is, too. Betty was just so much more mine than my dad ever was, and oh my gosh, this is brutal. I know you know.

It is normal to wear the clothes of your deceased loved ones. I wear Bill’s t shirts, sweatshirt and his way to large and on its way out fleece jacket. It makes me happy. I have items from my grandparents and favorite aunt, not special things, just junky stuff really. I don’t know what to do with it and yet I can’t seem to let it go. If you figure it out, please let me know. The first year after Bill’s death I turned down holiday invites with the excuse that I was having one friend over who didn’t have another invitation. That was not entirely true. I just could not face being festive or even remotely happy. It is only now, more than three years after the worst day of my life that I have been able to host. I have a portrait of Bill that the funeral home did. I still can’t look at it. I will get there, just not now. I talk to Bill all the time - out loud. I feel his presence. And I remember what a wonderful person he was and how I am still lucky to have him in my life. I know that he is proud of me as I pick myself up. My grief counselor advised me to just let the tears come when I feel sad. Best advice I have ever gotten. I also talk to others who have experienced similar losses. There is nothing wrong with how you manage your grief or how long feeling better takes. In our society people seem to think that there is a time limit on how long we can be sad. Fuck them. I am so sorry for your health issues. The only thing that I can say with 100 percent certainty is that your mother is with you and she loves you.Ellen Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-67996874423058538862023-11-16T01:35:39.386-05:002023-11-16T01:35:39.386-05:00My heart just hurts for yours. 💔My heart just hurts for yours. 💔Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-13418657147937911222023-11-16T00:01:51.857-05:002023-11-16T00:01:51.857-05:00❤️LJ❤️LJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-46714362073681528512023-11-15T22:30:54.998-05:002023-11-15T22:30:54.998-05:00Yes.
