This year on 9-11, September 11, I lost my Mom. I'm trying to go on, but, you see, I knew her longer than anyone else in my life. I knew her for over 69 years. I lost my dad in 2006, so I have some experience with terrible loss. But this is different. Now my rudder is gone, I have no wind in my sails. I feel dead in the water. I have been so lucky to have her for so long and I know I must go on, life continues. I know she is free of pain now. But still, my grief is so profound, I cannot but get lost in it for a time.
