Overwhelming sadness
Hi I am overwhelmed with sadness. My sweet wonderful Mom passed away on Feb 14. She was in hospice for one week. I was there for her almost all the time, the last five years.

Now, I come to help others rather than to help myself. I do answer PM s quickly because I get a notification on my email. So, what I am…
