I have kind of a duality (dichotomy) going on with my Mom who passed just 3 and half weeks ago now!

I have lived with both parents for years but did move to vacation house this past summer.

I still feel like the whole thing is a dream or something unreal! I hope some time will help. It does not seem as horrible now! Maybe a touch better. All I can say to you is hang in there. I do dread the holidays coming- my mom loved Christmas so I cannot imagine how I will feel. I will take it day by day and so will you I guess.
