Something that may help is introducing your peer group (the people on this board) to your mother. I've always enjoyed reading your posts because you have a fluid writing style, did this come from her do you think? How did the traveling she had to do affect her outlook on life do you think? What is life like for a woman raising a family in that part of Australia? The answers to these questions would interest many of us I think, and sharing the things you admired about her (apart from just the fact that she was your mom, though that is certainly enough) may help put the memories into a clearer perspective for you and take some of the bite away. Finally by this you may help all of us too. i'll betthere are plenty of people on these boards that saw their mom on wednesday and felt relieved that they don't have to go through that again tillthe next birthday/holiday/anniversary etc. I think the poignancy of your loss may help them appreciate what they stilll have, I know I'm going to either call or stop by my mom's place tomorrow, and I wouldn't have done that if not for your reminder, so it's already working.Larry Fitzgerald</blockquote>
