i don't care....

I lost my mother long before she passed away. She, her older sister and older brother ALL THREE died within two years of each other due to Alzheimer's related complications. So in a sense, their passing was a welcomed relief and at the same time it was so sad. It was very conflicting; however, what was MOST upsetting was family and friends who could not understand both sides of the issue instead of "acting out" with "mama drama" when the children all expressed the acceptance with the grief.

Thanks for sharing a good depiction of what happened with you and yours. The grief process still serves an important role in your life regardless of how close you were to the deceased. And that importance may not even be useful or realized until later down the road or when you least expect it.

Best wishes for you all.
