      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My mother passed away late Friday night. My oldest daughter and I were there with her. Watching her die was very difficult but I think it helped prepare me for the inevitable. I think I'm doing ok, but after all the formalities and everyone has gone home. I'm not sure how I'll be.
