Though it's a labor of love (or not, sometimes!) it's been a revealing and helpful experience for organizing my feelings and making sure I don't lose track of important events and people. I'm taking it slowly, working on it when I can - in terms both of my time and my mental energy. I'm still months if not years away from writing about the last few weeks of my mother's life. Even though I accepted her death readily (as I've suggested, I know she was ready to go) I harbor a lot of anger towards the doctors and some of the others who "cared" for her.Veronica Waldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367665889716556106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996986121279323996.post-9701150904006994262009-03-11T23:29:00.000-05:002009-03-11T23:29:00.000-05:00I loved reading about your Mum.

She died way before her time, at age 62, slowly and horribly of Breast cancer.merinzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950053039147788819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996986121279323996.post-87700991454729554702009-03-11T18:38:00.000-05:002009-03-11T18:38:00.000-05:00Very touching.

Other parts very hard.troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.com
