Dear Joanne,
Dear Joanne,
I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. It is tough anytime, but this close to Christmas is so much harder. Please don't take this wrong, but it is a blessing that she didn't have to suffer for a long period of time. I watched my sister suffer for 13 months before cervical cancer finally took her life - not her spirit or her will, but her life. It was so horrible watching her suffer so; I felt so helpless. Similarly, she died December 18th.........a very rough Christmas. Fortunately, there were no young kids around at that time, so we just didn't celebrate that year...........the wounds were too fresh and too deep. You have my love and prayers. Many hugs are being sent. Janet
