My dearest Tracy and the rest of the family,
There are so few words of comfort one can offer. The words cannot begin to ease the pain of losing someone, especially your Mom, who is so loved. I walked this path in 2003 when I lost my Mom. I can offer you hope, the days do get easier. There will come a time when the memories bring more smiles than tears. There is a time when all of the "firsts" become easier, even though it's a year of "firsts" - the first day, week, month, the first birthday or holiday. Don't let others decide how you should grieve, it's a personal & individual journey. Take the time and allow yourself some grace. I'm always here if you need to talk - instant messenger is on my phone. Even if I look like I'm off-line and you need a shoulder, reach out. You have my love and all of the peace and comfort I can send your way.
Many hugs, my friend. I keep with you.
Stephany
