Frozen Brain Syndrome

March 30, 2012

As some of you know, the past few weeks have been particularly challenging for me. “It’s post traumatic stress,” my therapist explained. She was referring to the fact that I have become EXTREMELY vulnerable to external stressors.  Things that might be more of an aggravation to someone else, have the potential of bringing me down [...]

Dear Whitney

March 13, 2012

Watching Oprah Winfrey’s two year-old interview with Whitney Houston a couple of day ago, I was reminded of…. Well, first of all, I had seen that interview when it was first shown a little over two years ago.  I know, because Andrew was still alive then, and I was watching Oprah because of the Law [...]

With Each Rising Sun …

March 12, 2012

Andrew’s death has really done a number on me.   I know I’m not the only in the family to suffer, but I can only speak for myself.  In any case, while there are common denominators in grief,  we each have our individual signature brand of challenges. I’m depressed.  I am confused about everything at [...]

Phone Call

March 9, 2012

When I tried the number mentioned in this post, a voice on a recording said that the number was no longer in service. But who knows, maybe it is no longer in service for us but it might be for someone else. Anyway, I am trying to make myself get ready for yoga. But do [...]

Back From Washington

March 8, 2012

This is what I was doing around about this time two years ago, four months after Andrew’s death. Now I am writing a Memoir In the meantime today, back in Italy, they are celebrating “Women’s Day”, I know, it has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that I felt like mentioning it. [...]

Oh My Lord, Why?

March 5, 2012

Why are there still times when I feel as though I am going to die of pain.  I literally feel my insides being ripped. My head seems like it’s taking off… The screams that want to come out of me sometimes, like today, when I am on own, driving, frighten even me. I pray that [...]

February 23, 2012

It’s been a while since I first wrote this post. But I still go back between past and present   See-Sawing Between Past and Present.

I Am Still Here

February 16, 2012

I am sorry to have been absent for so long. I have been… I have been, period. I am still here, doing what I do, cry, laugh, get upset, go to therapy, rally for those who need me to rally, I miss Andrew, I still can’t believe what happened. I feel that’s been a while [...]

Andrew’s Ashes –

October 25, 2011

I now know what to do with Andrew’s Ashes. I will take them with me on The Way of St. James’s – El Camino. I will walk with Andrew, day after day. Together we will cover the 800 km from our starting point in France. It doesn’t matter how long it will take, because we [...]

November Third Is Coming Up

October 22, 2011

November third is coming up! How can it be almost two years since that dreadful, life destroying morning when Andrew breached Bobst’s non-existent security, and leapt to his death from the tenth floor of that wretched library? That cold, eery, spooky, hungry library! “If there were no witnesses, how do you know that my son [...]
