I am still grieving. I am not going to deny it and I won’t apologize. Too many people say sorry when they don’t know what they are sorry for, and most say sorry for all the wrong reasons anyway.
As a matter of course, I am glad I am grieving. Thank you Qunie (and Be, and Sia Peng, and Karen, and Nina, and many others) for putting the fact in a sentence… that there is perfectly no harm to do just that, and for ‘sentencing’ me to grieving, taking as long as I see fit taking.
But then again… grieving has long been in the act of writing to me. So here I am. I have returned to do the grieving thing again. Thank you for greading.
Questa è Enida 
enida,
lost my mum to cancer too…next march will be the 7th year. i wish i can say that the pain would be gone within a certain period of time.it does not, it lingers and sometimes it overwhelmes and suffocates.right to this day i’m still mourning and grieving, granted in small batches now.
my only saving grace is, for all she had suffered and endure, may she be blessed with everlasting paradise.and when i think of her being in a better place, i feel a little relieved.
take your time, to grieve, to remember and to reflect.
doa i untuk semua ibu-ibu kita termasuk you juga.
Thank you Ida. What you said means a lot to me… coming from one who lost a parent to cancer yourself. I actually just took my husband’s advice to start calling old friends, get together and kinda touch base with them, talk about old times and parents. It’s amazing how it is helping me a bit.
I am telling myself exactly that Ida… that Mom is in a much better place. No more pain, no more suffering, no more tears. You’re right, a sense of relief overwhelms me every time the thought comes. Thank you. So very much!
