I’m sorry for your loss, Dave. It can be especially tough when a parent dies that you’ve had a conflicted relationship with, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. I hope you can eventually find your peace about your relationship with your mom. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. ---

**Airman Doors** , I’m so very sorry for your loss. This week will be hard… and next week will be harder. But it will get better; by–and–by it will get better. ---

This^^. The best of parent/child relationships still had rocky patches. The less-good just had more rocks. They’re part of life. This hurts like heck, and the things unsaid and not done will always be so. There is comfort (and more with passing time) in knowing you two were not unusual in your relationship, rocks and all. You had the chance to clean up a lot near the end and you did. That proves where you both were going even if you didn’t have time to finish getting there. Take heart in that. ---
