Teresa,

Thanks. I wish the same for you and your family. Not being able to control our emotions after a death is very normal, so don't worry about it at all. We all go through that, and still are, and for some of us it's been years since the death! So, just relax and know that this is ok.

Merry Christmas,

Hugs,
