It's tough on my son, and it's tough for us to balance being supportive to each other while also feeling free to ask for support.
I'm starting to have some difficulties, and I think I'm going to have to assess what medication would be helpful, at least short term.
Daisy, I love what you said about the holidays. While I was feeling sad that neither had managed to hold on till after Christmas, that is a very comforting idea. I know this Christmas will be full of good memories of them.
What my therapist did was suggest that he was thinking of coming to the funeral. Since I didn't specifically answer him, I suppose he let the subject drop and hasn't raised it again. But the fact that he even considered it is something that will always make me trust that he does actually care about me, not just client #463, and that there is some of that third sort of caring that gardenergirl described. (GG, I still think in terms of that post. It has been so very helpful to me.)
Ugh. The funeral. I don't know how I'm going to manage that. I'm going to have to stay as far away from my mother as geography will allow. :( It's horrible that such an awful time is made worse.
