She died at 2:20 this afternoon

I'm heading out to Utica for the wake and funeral. I think my dad's side of the family is about to explode from latent hostility and denial. Meanwhile I have been holding myself down. I still haven't been able to cry. I think it'll be good to sleep in my childhood bed and see the relatives that haven't lost their marbles.

I won't likely be back until Sunday. I may be online at times.

-off I go to confront raw emotion, Dante

Wishing you and your family the strength to deal. It seems to take me a long time -days- for the emotional impact of a death to sink in, which bugs me, until I am able to express it outwardly.

Take care of yourself, 'kay?

Call me when you get back.

Dante: I just wanted to add our condolences to the list. Please call us if you need venting or sympathy or distraction at any time. Love from us both.

I know what that's like. I experienced the exact same emotion when Mom was badly burned over Christmas. Luckily Sean and my sister were there to hold me when I finally was able to let go.

I hope you will be near someone who could be your rock when you start to cry. If not, please know that I can be one for you when we meet again. My condolences to you and your family.
*hugs*
