My mother passed away on December 10, 2009. I needed a way to help myself work through the grieving process. I knew that just writing an occasional entry in a paper journal wouldn't help me deal w/ the myriad of emotions. I've pledged to write in this blog every day for a year to chronicle what I hope will lead from the pain of mourning to the glory of remembrance.

29 January 2010
I talked w/ a friend today who lost her father six months ago. She told me about a book distributed or published by Hospice that she's reading right now to help w/ the grieving process. I told her I'm writing a blog. Others have told me about support groups they've joined to help w/ the grieving process. I told them I'm writing a blog. I feel like Charlie Brown when he's trick-or-treating on Halloween and all the other kids say what they got: "I got a chocolate bar," "I got a nickel," and Charlie Brown says, "I got a rock." Every house they go to all the other kids get amazing treats, and each time Charlie Brown says, "I got a rock." It sounds lame when I say it, but when I'm writing here, I feel better. So, Charlie Brown, have no fear........keep all those rocks.....you can build a solid foundation.....for something.........someday.
