12. Grief is a process,

Its an abstract process, with no hard rules or time lines.
Was talking to my Mom, yesterday, and she enlightened me a bit, Dad died in Nov. MrsK 3.5 years ago,Lil, coming up on a year.
She asked me why i sleep in a recliner, I told her, " it doesn't matter, how many new sheet sets, or comforters, I buy, when I lay down in that bed, I smell Lil and MrsK."
Mom said " that's because, you loved them, and they loved you, I just talk to Dad, when I get those feelings."
Im gonna try that, after all, it's Mom, and as she still tells me often,
Moms are always right.
