I lit a memorial candle for her which is a Jewish tradition even though my Mom never did that kind of thing, but I like the tradition of it. It burns 24 hours.
My sister and my H don't seem to understand how I'm feeling, My secretary brought me some candy and a cute ceramic bunny. I thought that was so sweet of her.
I wish my Mom could have known J better not only because he's amazing but he suffers the same dx I had as a child and her words of wisdom would be great.
Sorry for my Debbie Downer post but I would welcome poor poodles or happy gif's. I really just needed to get this out.
It can be a really lonely feeling and that is so hard. My sibling nags and I all remember our dad in different ways. Have a good cry or good laugh or whatever you need to do to make it through the red of the day.

(((Hugs)))
I've been reading a lot of poetry recently. This is a portion from a reading by a priest (Death is Nothing At All) given a hundred years ago and I think it's still beautiful. I think you remembering her and loving her is beautiful.
"Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before..."
I'm so sorry, I can't imagine dealing with a loss like that. I hope this isn't out of line, but iss there something special you and your mom had/did that you can do with DS?
Hugs to you from an internet stranger who understands your feeling well. When I buy flowers for my place, I always think of my mother (she passed 30 years ago).
Big hugs, karma. That really sucks that your sister isn't really a source of understanding comfort. (Your h too, but I'd expect more from my sis) I'm so sorry that you sort've have to deal independently But pleased you have a sweet secretary!
