I...This is crushing but also full of a hopefulness. I can't imagine losing a parent as a child, let alone now, at almost 50 as I face losing my mother – I feel like a child about to be abandoned. My cousin lost her mother when she was 14 and I remember it was a good 15 years later at least, when we met for lunch and she said she finally was beginning to feel as if she was getting over it. Able to move on. She seemed lighter perhaps. Thank you for leaving the link to this post on my own.

I could fully appreciate how you cried again at your father's grave as you took in the sight of you 7 yr, old step-son. That was you then and you grieved for him as an adult.

I was fortunate that my parents lived into their mid 80s and had good, full lives. Both their deaths were expected. Of course, one is never really prepared for the death of a loved one, but it still is much easier you've had them for so many years.angelaparsonmyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444590717139156975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109627201567905090.post-57222419137341926172012-04-11T22:31:02.329-06:002012-04-11T22:31:02.329-06:00OH!

I remember at the grave side service, I was going to not cry...no matter what. I was going to be strong, comfort my Mom and Grandma Adams.

Can't remember exactly who did now. <br /><br />Thanks for adding your link and I'll ask Mimi about what she wrote.
