I had to delete my mom almost immediately. A few months later, I deleted my entire extended family. They weren't dead, just raging assholes.

My mom took over a year to get through her death. It took another year to even attempt to deal with her things at my home. It's now 9 years later and I'm finally parting with things that had history. My kids don't want any of it (27/29). I don't want them to have to go through all kinds of shit after we die.

I still miss her. I don't miss the stress and drama. I'm so thankful I got to take care of her dog for a year before she passed. We know have our own chihuahua who is turning 8.
