Douglas. Having just gone through this myself, I can really empathize with
you. My dad was laid to rest on Tuesday. It has been two weeks since I
heard the news and, as they say, time does help. I won't say it heals the
wounds, but knowing my mother is doing as well as can be expected and she
has the support of all of us, I have now settled into a numb existence
trying to find the new "normal" for me. I know firsthand that the actual
words don't really help, but the words, spoken or written, knowing other are
thinking of you does help, tremendously. I take solace in the photos I have
of him, especially those taken just 3 days before his unexpected death.
Being photographers means that we perhaps have more of these than most
people do.
So, be with your mom and support her. I hope she is in as good a health as
my mom at 87. Hang in there. You will be in my thoughts.
