You should not be under an assumption that you HAVE to do this or that, or act like this or that (meaning--the male is the strong one, etc...) Each person is different. Enjoy the pictures, and may they bring sweet memories to your recollection every time you look at them!

I am sorry about your mom. It is so hard to lose those we love. But my dear, I swear if I see you say "get on with it" again, I just might fly to SF and throttle you!! That is not being kind to yourself! And yes, I know our lives go on and we have to pick up the pieces, but I really feel in today's age of the "microwave generation" where everything must happen RIGHT NOW, we do not give ourselves time to properly feel the things we must. We rush through grieving stages, we overlook depression as pity parties and too often tell people "mind over matter". And yes, there may be points in life where it does come to that, but you are certainly not at that point yet. give yourself the time you need, follow your heart as to what you need to do for you. If stitching gives you comfort, then by all means. If you need to curl up on your couch and watch movies or read, then do that. but never feel like you must get on with it.
