Too often we try to shelter them from the hard things, without realizing that those difficult moments at the end of Mum's life were still moments of her life...moments that are not shameful or to be hidden, but are normal, natural, painful and real.

I wrote a blog series on grief and mourning right after Mum died, partly because I was uncomfortable with the idea of life just going back to normal without her. I guess it was my therapy. I'm looking forward to reading the post about your dad.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670578232813960093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865423286287077727.post-11798638747681496472012-04-14T23:06:11.858-04:002012-04-14T23:06:11.858-04:00Great post!
