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.

Thursday, 11 November 2010 -- Day 326 (339)
I've started wearing Mom's short, black leather jacket. It's a beautiful coat, but I'd rather she was wearing it. I found her gloves in the pockets. I kept them there. They're a little too small for my hands, but I'll keep them in the pockets just the same. I like wearing something that I know has touched Mom's hands and arms and shoulders. There's also a dime in the right pocket. I'll just keep it there too. I like to hold onto it when I put my hand in that pocket. The left pocket held used tissues. Those I threw away. I'm sentimental, but that's pushing the envelope.
