[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]L’ost father. Mother was unbelievably strong. We didn’t realize till we were adults what she carried without complaint. Have no idea where her strength came from. Deeply moral but not religious at all. We take good care of her in her old age. We understand the stability she gave us. Must have been especially hard all those years we idolized missing father.[/quote]this is beautiful. And likely you and your siblings were both her need for strength and her source of it all at the same time. Grief and love and loss are weird like that. The burden of the strength (not being able to fall apart bc she had kids) was likely also the source of it (intense love for her children and keeping them healthy/safe kept her feeling more whole than she might have otherwise)[/quote]
