I went to help Dad go through Mom's clothes today. My sister's already been and weeded through for what she wanted, leaving me with all kinds of neat, pretty things. I agreed to come over later this week and help go through the medicine cabinet full of her vitamins and supplements, because it needs to be done, and I hate to think of him doing it

I've had to to this because my dad died. Cry if you want to. It's OK.

*hugs*

I can't even imagine having to do this although one day I will have to with my own mother....that mechanism we all have which gets us through the tough times when there are things that need to be done is kind of scary in a way. You become detached from the reality that your loved one is dead in lieu of cleaning and packing and looking after others. It's only in that time when we get to stop and catch our breath does it actually hit us, which is as it should be really...some tears are meant to be shared, but some others are so personal they only come out when we're alone.

Those trinkets from your wedding which are painful little reminders right now will be great keepsakes later on. I am glad you have them. Hang in there, it will be okay.

My thoughts are with you.

I'm just now getting caught up with everyone after being gone. I'm sorry about your Mom.
