Don't know if anyone has noticed but I haven't been around much in the last week - been lurking and not posting at all. I've been pre-occupied and pretty low lately.
Then I got the news... my stepmother passed away early this morning. Lung cancer. Thankfully, she died peacefully in her sleep.
I'm feeling pretty numb. Really, I'm not feeling anything at all. I haven't been able to bring myself to call my father - we are not close, and there's a lot of history between us.
As a parent, telling my son that his grandmother is gone was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I'm thankful he is handling it better than I expected.
