Wow. There are some really truthful thoughts here. JLynn and rayww, your words spoke to me. My mother has been dead for 8 years (to the month) and I feel some of what you each wrote deep down in my gut. I hurt too much sometimes when I think of it and I wonder how it is that I go about my life as if the day-to-day things hold any importance at all. It's a great big DEAD block that I cover with logic and fact so that I am not lost within. How can we make sense of the senseless? How can this be truth? What is existence if it ceases to exist? JLynn, do what you need to do now to be a whole person for yourself and your daughter.
"So that she will be able to express her feelings
Unlike her mother
and her mother before her"
Your opening up here and with your daughter IS the break from the cycle of silence of your past.
