Today marks the end of the first week since my CArol passed. I'm still in a funk. I hope you don't have the chaos I experienced in the days following her death dealing with funerals, notifying people, and answering phone calls, but someone has to. BEware the vultures who prey on emotions, ie the funeral homes. May God give you the strength to endure this final stretch of saying goodbye to your mom. It is tough. Now that Carol's funeral is over, a sense of calmness now takes the place of the madness of scheduling appointments, administering medicines, worrying about their eating, etc. Grieving is a hard phase to get through, but nothing as harrowing as the last weeks and days of caring for a dying loved one. Peace will come, and you deserve it.
