Mom

[anaar]

 I got an email today from my sister.  Mom was at her house getting some pre-surgery treatment for her eyes.  She got really sick and upset, at one point she thought she had a stroke.  It was not a stroke, she has a virus.  She will be fine.  But apparently she was crying her eyes out and my sister found that really distressing.  Mom does not cry

I had that thought too, that it could be triggering for some of the war survivors. Just horrible what's going on there. Hope she stays safe.

Trigger... that's the exact right word.

Sounds like PTSD... Being loving and listening to her is good. Is there anyway she can get out of the country for a while?

My heart goes out to you and to your family in Japan. You've been in my thoughts alot.

with lots of support,

Swan

This must be so difficult for her, bringing up all those memories. And for you, too, being so far away. Blessings to you both and all and just a whole bunch of juju for you to do with as you will...

Blessings and prayers.. this must be So hard for you both.
To help ease her earthquake fears for you, you can; **Make sure your house is bolted to its foundations, that you Have emergency food and water, any medicines you need, etc.** and *Tell her that*.
Being a mom, she will probably still worry--but it may help .

And *When* the big one comes--it Could save your life, or at least make things significantly easier.
