[quote=Anonymous]There are many cultures and religions that designate a prescribed mourning period after the death of a loved one. Catholics have a "heavy mourning" period, and "light mourning" period. Buddhists also have a mourning period that prescribes abstaining from celebratory events for 100 days after the loved one's death. I do think in today's modern society, that most people are incredibly uncomfortable with dealing with the idea of grief, death, and loss, and would like to gloss over it, speed it up, and well - pretty much ignore it. OP, do what feels right to you. Just know that in feeling grief for your mother now, and feeling all the feelings, you are paving the way to opening your heart much wider to all of life's joys, to love, to compassion, and connection with your loved ones. It's ok to honor your love for your mother by grieving any way you choose.[/quote]
