Going back in time: On August 10th 1 am I let my mom go. I was up before dawn & there were some dark moments & still are. I am just grateful that time has gone by & I am experiencing the dawn in a different way. I feel very poetic these days & tend to share songs & titles that mean very much to me. Like things can only get better or I will break free! Now w/ you permission; if it keeps getting better & better, I don't know what I am going to do! So, w/o preaching there is a song called HOW GREAT you fill in the blanks! You don't have to like me but love me in a special way the same way I already love you. I am blessed to have all of you in my life. I guess after over 27 years in the program, I am coming into my own & finding how much you & my HP mean to me & how He is the only healer & I am being healed body mind & spirit!
Thanks for sharing this Kathleen, it's beautiful and so positive and very inspiring for me indeed. Thanks for always coming back here and let us know from your experience. This board and the people on here mean so much to me. So much unconditional love. and YES, you are loved

My mum died two and a half years ago... I have her photo on the wall with one of her favourite horses... ...it takes time to grieve, and it takes others to grieve along with, and share the burden...
...I use you-tube regularly to tune in to my feelings. Especially my mum's favourite song we had at her funeral. It was the song her oldest brother sang the younger girls with his banjo. He went away to war and did not return. Mum and sister went back to Italy and payed their respects. When they were able.
Mum was able to complete the cycle, and so shall I. She had to confront much more than death itself of course- for the same reason I am in Alanon. But I am able to put that aside for a moment- to write this.
I love that song you mentioned. I can sing it in English, and in Maori...
