long long days

Its been such long days. Planning the funeral has been a problem to say the least. I am Italian so that means we argue. About everything. Always. The only time we stop arguing is when we are dead. So never the less we argued about every step of the planning today. It hurt me to see us all so angry but there was not much I could do. Tomorrow is the wake. It will be a very long day for sure. I just hope by the end I can still look at my family and not hate them.

Here is her Obituary:

This will be a tough Week-End, an Holiday for you. Please stay close to your Cyber-Friends, we can & will, get you through.

You have 40 responces on the Alz Board, so may people kept up, and truely cared about You & Nonna.

I put in a prayer request for "YOU" last night at Church Stef, and they will be praying for you on Wednesday Night. They are very powerful, and have been answered often.

I hope they will bring you some peace, and calm, during this time.

Breathe Stef... Take some of those cleansing deep breaths and let them out slowly...The plans, the service, yes, even the family drawn together at this time is in honor of your grandmother. Know that she is watching over you, loving you ...Still.

You will do fine, though at any moment you may well doubt that. It will be tough and some tough days are ahead, but we all love you and care for you.

Hi Stef,

Thanks for sharing your Nonna's obituary. I was very happy to read it and learn a little more about her. I feel like I should know her just because of you and your blog.

Wow you all have a big family.

Blessings to you.
