Life is a little hectic this week
and soggy
definitely soggy
for everyone else
I seem to be the only dry eye around here
sigh
It's not over till it's over
I have to write a eulogy type thing
and I can't think
I have a house to pack up and a brother to move
I have another brother and a sister to help and to hinder
I have family flying in tomorrow to drive me insane
I have to go buy some black pants because the purple lurex harem pants just weren't suitable.....
We are wearing purple to the funeral BTW.....mum is too
I am numb
numb is okay
I grieved already and I will get to it again soon
Just for today I will be grateful for many many things
Breathing is one of them....

becareful with the word 'I'- there are a ton of you guys up there all looking for something to distract them- put them to use !
I'm glad you seem to be managing and coping, even though it's hard. I've been thinking of you a lot. You sound.... calm....? in this post. I'm sensing peace below the surface. I hope that's true.
Love you xxx
True...I mean we.
Soggy and dry are both a part of it.
Purple ...purple is fantastic.
If in doubt I'd wear the harem pants and jangle a bit....wear bells....be yourself.
much love. xxxxx
Sending regular prayers your way.
I delivered my mum's eulogy wearing a red dress: she was wearing red and black too. I think it was a deliberate decision from me, as I refused to be morbid on the day that we were celebrating her life. And besides, she & I both "lived" in black clothing...
The eulogy comes from the heart and is different things to different people. It might be your mum's life story, or a recollection of personal memories, what ever suits. Ansd whatever was important in your mum's life is the stuff that is important, music, objects, flowers, whatever.
I agree with you, Bluest One: the soggy stuff can happen later in your own time and space. I had soggy "conversations" often with my mum in the shower in the days leading up to her funeral, to get her opinion if I was "doing it right". And the cd player in the car would often trigger soggy moments. These days, the same songs result in a misty smile. By the way, it's not necessartily safe to be driving in a soggy manner....
It is surprising, the calmness, isn't it....
Love you. And on Wednesday, you will have wings.

Oh Michelle I am so sorry.
I am sorry beyond words and then yet I know for your Mom it is so hard. We want to stay but feel so horrible we want to go and then we want to stay.
I love you Michelle and your Mom has an incredible daughter in you.
