It's been almost a month since I buried Mom. I am handling it better than I thought.
She is entombed with my father . The spot was originally mine. but a few years ago after I saw my parents essentially reconcile I thought it better for Mom to use it. I want to be cremated when I die.
Overall I still feel a few different emotions, even after a month. The best I can describe it is a combination of grief, sadness, relief, along with emptiness. Most importantly now I feel a sense of freedom. For the past 12 years my life has been on hold. First taking care of Dad, then my mother. From 2006 I really haven't had much of a life. Don't get it twisted, I would gladly do the same thing again. Now I feel like I can start having my own life again. I will always miss both of my parents but I am glad to have been able to do something for them in my life.
