Gearing up for the big day

[mandy22403]

I'm a little freaked out by the anniversary of my mom's death looming around the corner.  It's so surreal to me to think that it's been an entire year since I talked to her or saw her.  How is it possible

I feel bad that I never think of grand mother as actually gone. It hits me at strange times that I am never going to see her again, but I couldn't even tell you the date she died on. I don't think I am much of a mourning person. Maybe things would be different if someone closer like my parents or sibling passed away, but I hopefully won't have to find out for a long time yet.

Hopefully you will be able to ignore any assholes in your support group, so that you can actually get some real support. If you can't look past him, then maybe it is time to try and find another one...

Anyways, I am not much for piercings (esp face piercings), but I have seriously considered a tattoo......

Why do you have to be nice? He's a stranger who holds no meaning to your life. One of the purposes of a grief counseling group is to let out your feelings... perhaps it would actually be healthier if, next time this guy did or said something mean, you actually called him on it. Ask him outright why he says/does those things. Perhaps he doesn't realize just how hurtful he's being; perhaps having someone put him in his place is just the ticket needed for BOTH of you to heal a little bit. (And, if not, it just might make you feel good to tell the fuckhead to shut the hell up. It won't make you a bad person... and others in the group might even applaud you!)
