Esther time - part 2

Last Thursday was a completely horrible day for me.  To be honest - all my days feel horrible - but Thursday was very bad.  I cried from about 5 until I went to bed.  That evening, I decided that I need to start talking to someone.  I have a few friends that I can talk to - but they have no idea how I feel or what I have gone through.  They cannot relate to the fact that my only emotions i have felt since Feb 12, 2013 is a mixture of stress and grief.  I really cannot recall a time I felt happy.

This time around - I really try to not expect anything from anyone.  It's just easier.  Unless you have lost someone - and have had a similar experience - you really don't know what to say.  If I had a friend who had one of their parents murdered - I would have no idea what to say...even after losing two parents.

Anyway, I wanted to talk to Esther.  I called and left her a very tearful message on Thursday.  She only is in the office at Hospice on Monday and Wednesdays - so I heard from her yesterday.  I answered the phone and she simply said "my god Kathryn...I am so sorry."  It was perfect.

We talked for a few minutes - and scheduled my first appointment of grief therapy because of my mom.  I mean how fucked up is it that I have been in grief therapy for two different loved ones within 3 years of each other?

This time 2 years ago - my mom was in town.  It is so painful to recall those memories.  I would love to have a rewind button on my life.   Where is that button??

All I want is more time with my mom.
