Lindsey, When I read your post, it was eerie how similar you and I are. I lost my mom in January 2007, after a short and very difficult 15 month battle with lung cancer. As I was reading, I just kept thinking how much I can relate to you. Its just coming up on 7 months in August, and this week has been a total down on the roller coaster that is grieving. I was cruising along fine, and then whamo, I get trouble concentrating, lack of motivation in my job, moodiness, irritability, and all that other fun stuff. Its worse than PMSing. I just keep missing my mom, every. single. day. It does get betterm, I know that a year from now, I can miss her but look back on good memories and happiness. I just have to get there. Thank goodness I have my sister, as I hope you may be finding out with your siblings. We can relate to each other, and also realize that we are grieving in our own ways. Hope it goes well, keep on keepin' on. All the best, Lindsey
