I've found that the first few years after my mother died, I was shocked that I didn't miss her so much. But now, as 10 years have passed, I think about her, talk about and to her, and dream about her all the time. I appreciate your article. Rabbi Deborah
When I learned my mother was diagnosed with cancer I cried an entire year. Every Shabbat when Pat would light candles I cried. A year later when she passed away I was out of tears.l I thought there was something wrong with me until Pat reminded my how much I cried. Today, years later, I miss her and I miss Pat and my daughters sorely miss their mother. Rabbi, thank you for those tender comments.
Well said Doc.. Although I often disconnect from the holiday in order for me to be able to do my job, I never forget that my patient is someone’s mother or daughter
