A Mother's Death, A Daughter's Tears

My mother died on 5/11/05 after fighting lung cancer for over 14 months. This blog will document my journey of coming to grips with the loss of the most important woman in my life.

Its been awhile....

I know it has been awhile since I posted anything to this blog. My life has been pretty busy and I've been trying to think of other things besides the fact that my mother is dead. Yet that fact & the thoughts associated with it keep intruding into my brain all the time...which is normal I guess.

I can't believe it has almost three months since my mother died. It seems like it happened much farther back in time than that. It seems to me like she's been gone for years...yet my sister says for her it seems like it only happened yesterday. I've tried calling my brother a couple of times but he hasn't returned my calls so far & I'm not sure why. I have my ideas why but that is another mess entirely that I don't want to go into right now.

I miss my mother a lot.
