[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP. At this time last year we were on a "let nature take its course" path with my mom after she developed a rare and fatal complication from chemo and radiation. It sucked. There is really no way around it. DH pretty much picked up all Christmas slack. I don't think I stepped into the mall once because it was too fucking depressing to see all the holiday cheer. DH did all shopping. DH also returned the Christmas gifts I bought for my mom because he knew I wouldn't want to do it. We hired a housekeeper so we didn't have to worry about cleaning. Then after the holidays were over, DH and I went away for 5 days so I could just get away from it all. It wasn't the most fun vacation I've ever had because I was grieving, but it was nice to have a disruption to the grief. [/quote]
