Re: Today is Mother’s Day.

Nice post

I booked Friday and Monday off so i could be at Jennifer's and have a long weekend and not be at work the day after mother's day.

Mother's day is hard for me 7 years on

26th march 2017. My mother passed away from cancer. It was mother's day.

Also M thanks for listening(reading) back when my mother died and the struggles that followed. As you know I suppressed my grief and work paid for bereavement counselling.

I heard an analogy and can't remember where.

The paid of this loss is like a sharp object inside a balloon. The balloon is expanding over time. At first there is not much room inside that balloon and that sharp object is bouncing around the inside causing pain. Over time the balloon gets a lot bigger and that sharp object is floating around and may just hit the sides when you least expect it to.

Short version. The pain of loss never goes away but it does get easier
