Hello, all:
My mother died on June 3rd after several months of battling lung cancer. Her death was exactly what she had hoped for -- peaceful and pain-free -- and for almost a month afterwards I was blessedly numb, but now the emotional anesthetic has worn off and I am full of a sorrow that is leaching away all my energy and lies in my bones and my flesh like leaded sand.
Do you have any words of encouragement you could share with me? Religious passages, prayers, poems, funny links to offer distraction... anything would be appreciated. I have to work on a computer project this evening and will be checking periodically for answers.
If it matters, I am Wiccan and so was my mother, but I'm open to words of hope from other faiths.
Thank you in advance to everyone who responds.
