Fer crying out loud...Let it go!!!!! Working on it? If 18 months have gone by and she still feels so strongly, some counseling is required because of pent up feelings!!

Why do people hold on so long to things, especially dead things?

It has to be guilt. I cannot think of any other reason.

Of course, it's late and I am really beginning to think that most of us are petty and so concerned with how things affect us that we are too busy to look at the bigger picture. (The following number is on the safe side) In 150 years everyone on the planet at this moment will not longer exist. Accept it.

I also sense a fear in some posters of being old. Maybe that's why there are "nursing homes". Out of sight out of mind. We took care of my Mom until she required 24 hour attention. Prognosis was 6 months or less. Her only surviving sister would not visit her in the home because "I want to remember her like she was". She lasted 4 months and besides my wife and I, only one of her other relatives (a niece) came to see her.
