    Cara, Having just lost my father and my son…..I know a bit about what you are going through. Time does make things easier, but it will always hurt. I know you loved your mother and she was a wonderful woman. Try to be strong for your dad, who is probably just lost right now. Let others help you and be there for you when you can. I am always right next door, if you need to talk or just hang out. My prayers are with you and your family.
