Eileen,
My mom passed yesterday and we buried her today. We are Jewish so everything happened very quickly. After the funeral, everyone comes back to the house for a Shiva call - this goes on all week. It is great to be around everyone but it turns into a bit pf a party and I am not ready for that yet. I have not had time to grieve and get over my traumatic last few weeks. I am still so angry, lonely and also feel lost. I am glad you are finding peace in your religion and I hope your dad comes around. I hope things can get a little easier for both of us, everyone says it will but I don't want to do anything with out my mom right now.
Still so hard to believe..
Take care,
Sherry
