My dad's mom died back in April and I'm still crying over it! It takes longer for some people to realize they're gone longer than others. Just remember she will never leave your memories. Good luck!

falliingxagain answered Sunday September 18 2005, 7:33 pm: Ask her to go for a drive. When I go driving with my mom we just sit and talk. Let her talk about whatever she wants with you - even if its not her mom. Maybe you can offer to cook dinner for her - her favorite meal. Write her little notes in places she'll find them when you're not around telling her how much you love her. Make her funny little pictures. If she doesnt want to talk about it, don't push it. Just be there for her incase she does. [ falliingxagain's advice column | Ask falliingxagain A Question ]
