There is no way around it but through it. We can't numb the bad feelings without also numbing the good. But this is so much harder on you, C and her Dad than on your Mother in Law.

This is the hard hard stuff :( All we can do in the mind blowing sad moments is to take everything one moment at a time and keep breathing.

I am especially glad that you just allow yourself to feel the feelings. Every death we get to practice our death. I think the Buddhist way of practicing death as a life experience is so much more realistic than shutting it off somewhere to deal with someday. Then when someday comes, we have no tools. I am 72 and have began accepting death as one of life's greatest teachers. My thoughts and prayers are with you. And, yes, I think your father-in-law needs that visit.<br />kbermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087236840097045265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-87631962806754565282013-01-31T06:54:15.996-05:002013-01-31T06:54:15.996-05:00Follow your heart on all decisions and ....we alwa...Follow your heart on all decisions and ....we always want a bit more time but in the end it turns out we have just the right amount.ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-6845598041350086602013-01-31T06:40:51.119-05:002013-01-31T06:40:51.119-05:00I am so sorry for your pain.
