#1- you are a very good writing Kermit, so it’s a good thing you enjoy it.

#2- time may not heal the wound of losing your mother.. it’s tough.. but I’m sure you’ll learn to cope..

Thanks for sharing. I like how this series is really letting some people open up. Saying it aloud (or writing it) is one way for fully acknowledging or owning something you feel inside.
And the platitudes thing is an interesting compulsion people seem to have when confronted with a loss. I guess unless you’ve been there yourself, it’s all you can think to say. And goodness knows being silent would be too awkward, so people go and repeat trite sayings. You’re right; they mean well at least.

Oh, sweetheart. Grief is something we all deal with in our own way. I wish you Godspeed and much love in your healing process. Thanks for sharing, Kermitgorf.

It may not seem like it, but time will lead you to heal. And healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
My prayers to you for your loss.

That was beautifully written. And about your mother—I think I might have said this before, but I’m so sorry. Listen…you’re right in that time doesn’t heal the wounds. But, as BB4L so aptly put, you will “learn to cope.” My mom died seven years ago. A day doesn’t go by without me missing her, but I’m learning to express it in unique ways that keep my memories of her alive. And that, you’ll find, is what heals you the most. My wishes go with you.

your writing is awesome. and your so sweet with your comments. i’m so sorry about your mum. even though your a stranger, you’ll be in my prayers.

Time heals all wounds, it just takes a hell of a lot longer than you want it to. I won’t say anything else, because I know it will just be superfluous.

friends and family are very important.. Your lucky to have that kind of support in your life.

I definitely agree with number 2—I’ve had that said to me, too, and you’re right, at least for me, it’s really not true, unfortunately.
