I don't know anything about your mom, except she must be terribly lonely and probably in love. Both are difficult emotions to break through if you decide to approach her with your feelings.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30072966.post-11121802963825817942007-05-16T13:31:00.000-06:002007-05-16T13:31:00.000-06:00I'm sorry for your loss and sorry the house will b...I'm sorry for your loss and sorry the house will be sold. Take lots of pictures of the house while you're there this weekend, kind of as a way of saying goodbye. Of course it's difficult to deal with the upcoming wedding; they really haven't known each other very long. Can you talk to your mom and express your concern? It doesn't mean you don't support her just because you're worried that she's making a rash decision.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489181738411546254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30072966.post-27315555126466821112007-05-15T11:33:00.000-06:002007-05-15T11:33:00.000-06:00Oh Denise. I am so sorry to hear about your family...Oh Denise. I am so sorry to hear about your family difficulties. I know how it feels to have your mom dating again and with another man. It is bizarre; I don't know any other way to put it. <BR/><BR/>I think that older people view time differently. They tend to know what they want and go after it when they find it because they realize they do not have an unlimited amount of time. I'm not saying she isn't rushing into things, just trying to speculate about what is going on in her mind. <BR/><BR/>You still have every right to be upset about the entire situation. You have a triple whammy to deal with. I can only imagine how difficult that must be. <BR/><BR/>Keep venting and doing what is best for you.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300945096399594946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30072966.post-53644436512687562202007-05-15T10:42:00.000-06:002007-05-15T10:42:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry your Dad is no longer here, so sorry ...I'm so sorry your Dad is no longer here, so sorry you have to live with that heartache. I agree with Wes about your Mother, certainly don't judge her, just support her, she is older and perhaps just feels it's right for her to move quicker, you have to trust she's following her heart just like you have.Neesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446569355572698661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30072966.post-3995753964989536672007-05-15T08:35:00.000-06:002007-05-15T08:35:00.000-06:00What Danielle said!

Be supportive and happy for her, but don't judge her. She has been through more than you guys will ever know.<BR/><BR/>Take comfort in your family, friends, and job. Life must go on until someday we are all reunited again.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30072966.post-16886235696007230922007-05-15T08:27:00.000-06:002007-05-15T08:27:00.000-06:00I'm sorry for your grief, hopefully each year will...I'm sorry for your grief, hopefully each year will improve for you and your memory of him.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30072966.post-49770009142001333912007-05-15T07:17:00.000-06:002007-05-15T07:17:00.000-06:00Sorry it's such a hard time.

That will never be the case and if he's a good guy, it's not something he is trying or hoping to do. He's just there now, hopefully trying to make your mom happy. Nothing will diminish your dad's memory for her I'm sure.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638725150045549860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30072966.post-40235170004323020032007-05-15T06:14:00.000-06:002007-05-15T06:14:00.000-06:00I'm sorry this time is so hard for you.

It's a lot to take in and deal with. esp. when it all happens that fast. good for you for expressing your emotions in a healthy way! good luck at work.Ms. Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513302613811826028noreply@blogger.com
