I won't even try. It hurts too bad. You are awesome and strong and brave and all of those other words one would use to explain you. You really keep Liz's spirit alive. Maddy will know her Mother, not in the way that she should, granted, but she'll know so much about her and these trips, these posts, these photos, these are things that Maddy will cherish FOREVER.

I understand about avoidance. I wish I too could avoid the process of my mother dying and taking care of all that needs to be taken care of. I wish I could avoid that during this time my husband and I have been fighting daily since we brought our son home. PPD? Anxiety? Stress? Financial worry? Realizing we're just not made for each other? Not sure. I wish I could avoid that I wake up daily with anxiety and worry and wondering on what choices to make for my son that are the 100% right choices. I hate all of this and I wish I could avoid it. I get it and I'm sorry. I’m sorry for your pain. I understand about avoidance. I wish I too could avoid the process of my mother dying and taking care of all that needs to be taken care of.

It seems you have a pssion for music and I thought this might bring you a moment of peace (or at least a finger tapping, head bobbing minute). I came across an old friends new band and it brought me that moment last week when our dog died unexpectedly when he was hit by a car right in front of us (me and my kids).
