I can understand why it just wouldn’t feel right at this point. Give yourself time until it does. I also have to say that trying to go through and clean up or organize old items can be super exhausting...a full day of doing that, or even just a few hours, can really take it out of you!

Oh gosh, yes -- so exhausting! I feel like I need a vacation from that "vacation." ;)

I pick up the phone constantly to call my Mom to talk to her about what's going on only to be brought back to the reality that she's gone... I adored your Mom. She was such a pistol (takes one to know one, I guess) and her laugh was so contagious! I glad you're giving yourself the Grace to just 'be'. It's so important.

It is! (It's hard, though.) And my mom adored you too! You remind me of her in certain ways. :)
