KayPack,

So sorry for your loss. All I can tell you with time it does get easier. I lost my sister back in 8/1993 and I still think of her everyday. We were very close and were only 13 months apart. She battled with breast cancer for 15 1/2 years. She was very young when she got it she was only 30 yrs. old and passed right before her 45th birthday.

My Mom is still fighting the dementia illness and she will be 91 in Feb. It is hard to loose your best friend and being the only child has to be horrible. Please cherish the memories that you have of Mom. That is what I do when I go and see my Mom, and look at my sisters pictures. This picture here that you see of Mom & I was taken on a very good day out, & I have that picture in a frame right where I can see it all the time.

Hang in there and please keep in touch.

KayPack,

Anniversaries of the death of loved ones are always tough. In a couple of days, it will be the 20th anniversary of my dad's passing. I absolutely adored that man. He had a kind heart, loved unconditionally, and spent time with me going to the beach or canoing. When I got my own place at 18, he was so happy for me. He lived in FL and I lived in NC. Every Saturday morning he would call me about 7 because I was an early riser like him.

My dad had a sharp mind and a body that failed him. The age old question....which is better to have?

Some years I am perfectly fine around the anniversary of his death. Tonight I really miss him. I wish I had him to tell me that everything would be okay.

I hope you find some peace.

Hey, Kaypack, my mom also died 7yrs. ago this month. Alz is so hard on the family, i can't imagine what it would have been like if I didn't have siblings to go thru this with. I do very much understand your loss,she was so close to her children and to realize we will never see her again really hurts. I do dream about her a lot, but the dreams are aways when you was health.
