I totally do agree with you about sharing memories like this of loved ones who have passed, especially in the first few hours, days, weeks of raw grief. I know after my mom passed almost 6 years ago, my mother-in-law telling me she was sorry about her passing when we were visiting, but she never said anything else about her; it was only after my mother-in-law passed last year when we were with my father-in-law talking about my mother-in-law and sharing memories that he told me how much my mother-in-law admired my mom for raising us three kids alone, how the first Christmas card she sent every year was addressed to my mom. I treasured hearing that then, but I would have really treasured it in the days after her passing. Good reminder for us to be sensitive to this in talking with family members.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-7179898130157873532012-10-19T22:39:12.664-04:002012-10-19T22:39:12.664-04:00We've lost 3 family members in the last three ...We've lost 3 family members in the last three weeks.
