It's very sad, but with the holiday weekend I've been able to keep it in the back of my mind instead of the front. Now that Mom is sharing info on services, i can't imagine actually going there and seeing and what to say... and it's getting to me, a lot. Today is a celebration day in my house and i don't want to bring my family down, so i just need a place to rest this until i can get back to it tomorrow and begin processing. Sorry for public journaling.

I'm so sorry. I lost my mom last year and it's the hardest thing I've experienced. Even when you know it's coming, and when you've prayed for them to be at rest, it's still a gut punch. Give yourself some grace. Thank you for your kind words.
