I always hesitate to put names in the subject line like that, knowing that I'm going to leave out someone & they might be hurting badly (as I know so many of us are grieving for various reasons).

Grief is SO hard.

I am not grieving right now. I am not sure why. It might not be healthy. Perhaps something is laying dormant inside my mind. I did grieve just before my grandmother's impending death and at the funeral, but I seem to have accepted things as they are. I did lots of crying for a few days. Still, I expected more. I can look at pictures of her and not feel sad. I guess I have invested myself more in my wonderful memories of a wonderful woman than in her recent passing.

I don't want to get into it too much now, but her death was made needlessly horrific by her attending doctors and nurses. This is what remains in my mind as sadness. I am also angry about the incompetent treatment she received and the suffering she experienced in her last waking moments, but that is part of a past that cannot be rectified by me. I wish I had that power.

Hi Scott,

It sounds like youu did VERY healthy healing right away & that has left you in a warm place of lovely memories.

I imagine healing is different for every person & possibly for every experience we grieve. I'm so glad you have the warm feelings. & I'm sorry about the negative things that happened at the end.

Aren't photos amazing? Imagine not having them!

I'm sending my love & hope it's sunny there like it is here.

luv, Kath
