Well, it's been 5 years and 4 months since my mother transitioned. I typically have a rough time in March because that was her birth month and my sister and I would spend months planning for her birthday. My mother had a very bad earthly life and we wanted so much to make her later years special.

I guess I spend far too many hours thinking of all the wrong things I did to my mother and not nearly enough time thinking about the good times. I wish my brain would remember more of the good and less of the bad. I wish my mother would visit me more in my dreams. I don't know if that requires too much energy on her part or not. But, I wish.

Today was a bad day. Yes, even after all of that times, today was a bad day. For once, I didn't suffer alone, I found this website and I am grateful to have a place where I can express my pain. Thank you.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
