Marilyn - my heart goes out to you. I do feel very fortunate to have had my Mom around until I was nearly 40. I really really am finding that writing is soothing my soul. I hope find the same for yourself...Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277751616587900015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-28864904174527508752011-03-18T15:25:36.071-07:002011-03-18T15:25:36.071-07:00I do know something about your story.

All the doctors kept telling us to have "hope" until one sat me down and said "your mother is going to die and she's going to die soon, so you need to think about what you're going to do." I had no other family. What the doctor said surely knocked the wind out of me but he said it out loud and spoke the words I knew in my heart were true. And she did die soon, on New Year's Day, 1974. <br /><br />It is hard to talk of these things but I too am struggling with emotions I have pushed down and hidden for a long time. Keep writing and healing will come--at least I am counting on that.<br /><br />Love,<br />Marilyn<br />http://theremustbesomemistake.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979076563260064684.post-17785617829600476802011-03-17T23:12:12.007-07:002011-03-17T23:12:12.007-07:00Keep sharing your stories of your mother.
