I am just going to say from the point of view of someone who lost a parent and has been there grief is a complex thing and as a husband I will say that while I might be disappointed that my wife did not want to go it is my job first and foremost to support her in what it is that she needs that said if you don't feel up to it be honest there is never any shame in telling the people you love how you feel particularly in such a stressful time. Keeping things bottled up is a stress trigger and I think we can agree that is a major IBS no, no do what is right for you and it will all work out

thanks so much, Wizard. I really appreciate the thoughts. I've kind of just decided to "go with the flow" and see what happens. Mom always told me to "take it one day at a time". So that's about all I can do. If I need to go off by myself once in a while during the trip...I'll just do it.

Hi Nugget,
I'm happy you decided to go on the holiday. I can completely understand your desire to stay home as well. I lost my beloved grandma on May 22, suddenly, though in our hearts, it was expected. She was 82, with a very weak heart. She had heart valve replacement 3 times. Since she passed away I haven't wanted to do much. But I know she wouldn't want me to sit in the house and cry. She would want me to carry on. And I have to carry on, my surgery is only 4 days away now, and I had fully expected her to be here for my recovery. Sadly, she's not.
I understand your heartache, I feel my own right now.
Try to enjoy your holiday and your time with the family. It is not just time for your husband and step daughter, but time for you as well.
Take care of you, big hugs ((((((((((( HUG))))))))))))

Hi Casandra...
I'm so sorry about the loss of your grandmother. {{hugs}} My grandmother passed away on May 22, too....eleven years ago now. And now my mother on May 28 this year. It's tough...my heart goes out to you and your family.
Forgive me for not knowing....or maybe I just don't remember...what kind of surgery are you having? I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hey Nugget,
Thanks for the hugs!! I've been getting a lot of them lately! And I'm cherishing every one!
I'm having brain surgery for Chiari malformation on June 22nd. My skull is too small for my brain and my brain is herniated into my first vertebra about 8 to 10mm. There more about it on my blog, if you're interested.
Hope you're having a great day!!
