To everyone who responded to the post, "My mother is gone", thank you again -- and I have responded to each of your responses.
http://crowdog66.livejournal.com/314317.htmlNot all of them are models of eloquence -- my brain feels like it's made of applesauce right now -- but they're heartfelt, every one.
I'm concerned about my own grieving process right now. Mostly what I feel is... nothing, aside from a certain amount of gratitude that she died the way she wanted to die, and a certain amount of stress over the nuts and bolts of wrapping up her life (tomorrow we go to see the funeral home regarding her cremation, and as for cleaning out her apartment... *shudders* I really don't want to deal with her landlord at this point, but I'll have to in the next week at the outside).
Here is her obituary, with details of when and where the service is. It will appear in the Saturday edition of the Winnipeg Free Press.
