My mom was a difficult person too. She lived to 95 complaining all the way, and died of cancer, so her death was a relief all around. I never brought it up on TORn when she died because I did not want condolences. And yet I grieved for her. I was lucky in that we did manage to have a beautiful conversation during her last year in which she said the things I always wanted her to say, so I did get the resolution you longed for. My sister did not, and she's had a harder time moving on. But pay attention to your dreams. You may hear from her yet. The silver lining is that you are now free to remember only the good stuff. I hope that, as happened with me, you will find that you do in fact have good memories. I've also become more aware of how she influenced me to be the person I am - sometimes, yes, by making me determined not to be like her in some aspects, but that's turned out to be a gift as well.
I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the words begin to move around … The words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. -- Gaston Bachelard * * * * * * * * * * NARF and member of Deplorable Cultus since 1967
