[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well my mom disowned me - she's not dead as far as I know - and I haven't spoken to her since I was 16. I don't incorporate her into my life. I don't talk to my kids about her. I have some old pics with her in there, but that photo album is on a high shelf in a closet. [/quote]

So you decided to post on this thread because...?

:roll: [/quote]

Because even this situation is a loss of a parent and needs to be acknowledged and mourned in certain ways. Not everyone's loss of a parent is the same, you know?

Right, but this vibe I got from this post was to solicit feedback from people who WANT to remember the person they've lost. Clearly you don't. So why post?

I'm sorry for your "loss" though.

I talk about my mom on my all the time with my kids-funny things she did, things she would've said, how proud she would be of them.  I have a pretty letter opener I touch every day. I don't use it to open letters but it's a pretty object d'art that I keep around that she used.  I sing the same songs and make the same noises is that she made. I pet my kids the same way and encourage them the same way. I look at life the same way.  I live according to her value system-  that family is most important and people are more important than things and that keeps me close to her. [/quote]
