Re: My mom's having a difficult time/Bill

[Guest guest]

Wow, Bill! That information on the stages of grief was

really helpful to me. I can definitely see that I am

in the midst of that process and can see that my

entire family is going through those stages in that

order. What an accurate description.

I will ask my sisters if they think my mother would be

open to talking with you. Personally, I think it would

be very helpful, but I want to get their input before

I ask you to call. I'll email you her number

(off-list) after I talk with them.

As always, thanks so much for your input, Bill. You

know, when I first joined this list I would have never

guessed you were really a softie. :-)

Ask your mom too as she may consider it an intrusion into her grief. She is

the one to decide if she wants a call from a stranger.

There are several people who have helped others on the list with grieving.

Both Barb Selleck and have been through it, if she wants to talk to a

woman, ask them if she can call them (B. is out of town right now).

There are others, but I am not sure they are still on list.

What do you mean softie, you know I am a mean old man ) PS, not everyone

goes through the stages in that order. And people may go through stages more

than once.

Take care, Bill
