Hmm.. strong words you have there:
There's the woman who gave me life, then there's Mom. I've had my whole life to understand the difference.
Losing a loved one could be really painful, its like a part of one been taken away, I miss my deceased father also. I am happy you are over it now. Stronger you, I pray.
Her death was only 3 weeks ago. I'm certainly not over it. One of the last things my mom told me before she died was that she was sorry she didn't know who my birth mother was. She wanted me to find out. Now I have that chance.
