i wish you could write letters to the deceased. well, i suppose you can, but there's not really a courier service that can get it anywhere

this is making me cry. kathryn, i just recently had a chance to learn what happened (after going through archives of your livejournal..sad). i'm really really sorry. i feel like something similar may happen with my mom. she keeps talking about her impending death..she had to go to the mental hospital a few years ago due to schizophrenia/bipolar disorder...and she has diabetes. and she sends me 10 emails a day...and i have so little time these days just to talk to her. it's really sad. i dont know what to do.. anyway,i just wanted to tell you that i'm sorry and i empathize (as much as i can in this position anyway..) love t
i never really told that many people about it. i actually have a hard time even bringing up in conversation that she died. i mean, for me, it was a bizarre scenario because she was never really THERE. but. i don't know. i was never the most attentive daughter to my mother, but i loved her, a lot, everyday, and even if i didn't tell her that, i get some consolation nowadays by thinking she must have felt that. but don't get overburdened by fear of what's going to happen. i get terrified in the middle of the night about what i'm going to do when my dad dies, and it freaks me out. i call him up at 3am just to tell him how much i love him. but. the better solution is just to care about them, think of them, and call when you can. paranoia just closes you up and makes it feel worse.
