A Season of Sadness



Last week my mother-in-law passed away. It's been a blur since then. I think it's strange how we deal with death in America. So many things have to be cancelled and taken care of right away, leaving the family no quiet time to grieve. My husband has been crazy busy with all the necessities, and little time to just sit with the sudden loss of his mom.

It's been a sad, weary week.

I would love to share many tender things about my mother-in-law, but I can't focus. She was a beautiful woman and took me in as a daughter. I will always be grateful for her friendship.

I am taking some time off to process. Thank you for your thoughts and understanding.
