I can only imagine what it's like to lose your mother. I had surgery for a pancreatic tumor when I was 35. It's a scary scary diagnosis. I see from more recent posts that you're getting back in the swing. It's definitely a process and takes time. Moods ebb and flow. Take care and be gentle with yourself.Robinhttp://www.fortheloveoffiber.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-27928694686509460672009-12-18T13:03:12.583-05:002009-12-18T13:03:12.583-05:00I am so sorry for your loss.

You haven't lost the zeal for knitting, it's just resting. Be good to yourself and carry the good memories as much as you can.

Maybe the lace scarf is part of the grieving stages - anger - and maybe you'd feel better if you gave it away (unfinished) or let someone else finish it for you.<br />(( ))teabirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789062795176641187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-71874223974275947332009-12-14T08:40:20.602-05:002009-12-14T08:40:20.602-05:00Dear Ann,

It was many months after that event before I wanted to do anything but lay on my couch and feel sad. Although there are still painful moments, they are fewer, as yours will be. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

But in the meantime, don't beat yourself up for not being The World's Most Greatest, Understanding Person. You lost your mom, and no matter how much you didn't want to see her suffer any more, she is still gone, and it sucks, and it's not fair.<br /><br />Eventually, it will just be a regular part of your day, and you'll know what you feel like doing. Until then, don't sweat it.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641404632001445083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-84914377395574971572009-12-10T17:19:33.197-05:002009-12-10T17:19:33.197-05:00thinking of you...the knitting will come back in t...thinking of you...the knitting will come back in time and find you...let it be for now...anne marie in phillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-32402772371942753262009-12-10T16:27:50.950-05:002009-12-10T16:27:50.950-05:00Ann, I'm thinking of you.Ann, I'm thinking of you.marthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-59277865847961336232009-12-10T14:29:23.529-05:002009-12-10T14:29:23.529-05:00Oh Ann, how amazing to be able to put into words a...Oh Ann, how amazing to be able to put into words a small amount of the emotions you are going through. I remember your writing about taking your knitting and being able to sit with your mom during her appointments, two months was no where near enough time to begin to contemplate what was to come. It's just all too intertwined, maybe some day your desire to create with yarn will come back to you.

I wonder if you're giving it up as part of your mourning for her. <br /><br />I can only imagine how horrible you feel, but I can also imagine that with time it will feel less horrible. I hope you can give yourself that time.LaurieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609188211326621400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-22458166660439123412009-12-10T13:10:15.028-05:002009-12-10T13:10:15.028-05:00You need to give yourself a break!

I don't know when this will end, but I do encourage you to offer yourself lots of grace. You don't have to finish that sock. Really.
