I still can't get my head around it......Mom is gone. And reality comes swooping in at the oddest times. Tonight as I was packing up to leave my office, I bent over to put my cell phone in my purse, and the pangs of loss were extremely profound. I have no idea what triggered the realness that Mom is dead. Maybe it's because I was so busy preparing for second semester classes all day that when my mind finally took a break, the feeling of loss came crashing through from unconscious to conscious like a wave breaking against the shore. Which is better....a gnawing ache or a stabbing pain?
