A Brief Leave of Absence July 30, 2007
Posted by thelastresort in Mom, cancer, life, writing.trackback
Mom passed away on June 4, 2007. I was by her side. I’ve got a lot to process, which I’ve begun, but have a long way to go.
I will be back in September – or who knows, maybe earlier. My house is a sauna, I’ve got a lot to process, and a lot of things to go through. I’ve just begun going through my apartment and trying to be honest – do I really need this? Or if it’s mom’s – do I really need this to remember her by? I haven’t even been to her apartment yet, nor dealt with her ashes.
So much is going on…and Pablo is back in my life. He was really a great support during the last couple of months of mom’s illness. I finally got tired of the emails and calls and picked up one call and we started talking. He was really a life saver for me – I didn’t feel like there were a lot of people I could talk to. Everyone has their own problems. Besides, people hear the word cancer and flee.
As far as what’s going on in the world, I feel like I’ve been living in a plastic bubble. I don’t like feeling disconnected from the world.
So, I shall return. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!
