My sister journaled her thoughts and feelings during the final days of Mom's life and has given me permission to share. Just when I think that kid doesn't have a brain in her head she writes something so beautiful I know I'm the dumb one.
How The Other Girl experienced Mom's death.

The Aftermath: The end of Mom's journey. The beginning of mine.

RobOT, I was thrilled when she said I could put her experience out there for others. She's always been the writer in the family, she just isn't as noisy with her emotions as me.0
