Can I get a witness?  Going through the possessions of a deceased person is so difficult!  Dad and I have been weeding through Mom's stuff (she had so much of it!) and it is heartbreaking.  We decided to give her clothes, etc to a charity that helps mentally ill people get back to work, be more independent, etc so I at least do feel good about that part. I went through a manic phase over the weekend but it was well within my control.  I try to channel the energy from it into doing something worthwhile and in this instance, I transferred a lot of my writing onto the computer in hopes of someday publishing what I've written about grieving and managing a mood disorder simultaneously.  The only downfall is that it brough me right back to those terrible first days after Mom died.
