I would guess this is completely normal. Don't get me wrong, I haven't experienced death. But I had 2 times in my life in which I was stuck like this. <br /><br />At christmastime, I used to put up 2 trees. the one in the family room downstairs is where all of the kids ornaments hung -- all of the ones they have made and received over the years. In our living room is the "formal" tree. This is the one I decorate by themes or colors each year. It is something that is my own little tradition every year. Anyway, Christmas '07 is what I refer to as the "divorce Christmas". He was still living here, but in the basement, and did not want to move out until the divorce was final. things were very stressful at our house. the divorce was final just after christmas. I ended up not cleaning his old room out NOR taking the family room tree down for an ENTIRE YEAR. It was like, I didn't want to admit that part about my life; that I had failed at my marriage.<br /><br />Fast forward to the next year. I had been dating big-d and fell for him pretty hard and fast. Christmas was fabulous that year... then we broke up right after christmas. My living room "happy tree" was still up. Finally in March, my mother came to visit and said, "we're putting your trees away" (cuz the one downstairs was still up from the previous year). So in this case, I loved the holidays and by putting away "my" tree, it was like I was going to forget my lovely holiday with Big-D.<br /><br />moving on is hard and painful sometimes. I know how hard it was for me, so I can only imagine that it must be 100 times harder with death. Hang in there, hun... praying for ya!EmmaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674416956252503821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602219224415733927.post-50119179385506267062010-06-04T22:24:05.234-04:002010-06-04T22:24:05.234-04:00I'm going to say that I think it's normal....I'm going to say that I think it's normal.<br />Usually when a grandparent or older relative passes in my family, my parents rush through to get everything done. Like the sooner they get it done, the sooner they can get past it...?<br />I don't know.<br />But, if I was you, I think I'd drag my feet too.<br />And, it's your right.
