Dear Kathy: My heart goes out to you and your family. The holidays are such an emotional time. To cope with the loss of a loved one at the same time can seem unbearable.
The best advice I've had on grieving is to let ALL the emotions surface. Tears are good - they seems to release some of the sadness that builds inside of us.
I advised my friends and family to buy stock in Kleenex - I use lots of them! (See, eventually we find something to smile about - so hang in there).
Hugs to all of you,
