Just keep taking it one day at a time.
Nancy has been able to help me smile a little bit today, but believe me, the pain is still inside. I feel more scared not doing anything for my mom when I am at home. But now that I have done a few things I am more calm.
This thread is my journal and that helps too. Nancy helped me plan mom's memorial today then we went out to brunch at breakfast place mom and I used to go. Nancy reached for the orange marmalade for her toast and that is my mom's favorite.

Got Judge Judy on right now, was never my thing, but when I am at her apartment or the nursing home at this time of day she has it on. I still want to be watching it with her because she likes it. She loves Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy and I am missing watching those with her too.
