Hi @Former-Member

I just returned and am catching up on emails/notifications etc.

I did not catch what happened a few hours ago.

I think you are a big soul and a practical soul and that is a powerful combination.

There are so many what ifs ... your daughter's death and your parents deaths will all be different and unique, but we do tend to the what ifs ... and comparisons ... that is the nature of thinking ...

I like the idea of an open house for mothers day ... but dont leave yourself open for being hurt ... people on the margins are often low in people as well as financial resources ... and so everyone gets stretched ... and dysfunctions .. accumulate ... be kind to you as well as dad .. and sibs ..

Re dad ... give him a time that you can cope with ... 2-5 hours ... depending on what he iand you are up to .. sometimes the image is just a fear or alert // ... try not to take it into your heart and let fear rule ... fear can be a mind killer ...

I get "death" intrusive images fairly often over the last 30 years. .. eg this morning as I drove down my street after being away for 3 nights.
