Please say a prayer for me...

I've blacked out June 24th (day my Mom died) and December 8th (day my Dad died) on all my calendars since they died. I've generally hid myself from the world on those days because even though my Mom died in 2001 and my Dad in 2005 it still hurts even now. The only piece of real advice I can give you is advice someone gave me when my Mom died. Don't try to be strong for anyone. If you feel like crying or getting angry DO IT. It's all right. Try to talk about her with friends and family about all the good times. See a grief counselor if you need one. Most important is to take care of yourself. Getting away for a day or two helps also.

Take Care
