Hi Robin, thank you so much for sharing your self so very vulnerably and honestly. I really appreciate the realness of your work. Listening to the recording of this article this morning, Memories of my mom and a deer man who was my best friend for many years before he passed away, came into my thoughts. I’m sorry that your mother relationship with her mother was so difficult.

My relationship with my mom was good about 50% of the time, as she was bipolar-schizophrenic, and I was her primary caregiver during the last years of her life. I can very much relate. The other person that I miss all the time, is my friend, Brian Marc, who is a remarkable person Bryan passed away shortly after 911 In New York and his leaving this plain broke my heart and his friendship is some thing I still miss. Sending you lots of love.

Thank you for sharing about your own Mom and Brian, Kara. I’m sorry for your losses. Life is so layered. The older I get, the more I learn that’s it’s possible to hold conflicting feelings for folks. The heartbreak of a friend that you miss every day is incredibly harsh on the heart. I wonder if the daily pain ever leaves the body or only or only eases at time goes on. Sending love to you too. ❤️
