I want to talk about my mother who died, but none
of my family will let me talk with them. They keep telling me
that I should pull myself together and stop being so morbid. Is it
morbid to want to talk about my mother? Joan, Marietta, Georgia

Talking with a concerned and caring friend about the
person who died can be a very normal and healing thing to do. Your
mother is still a part of your life and there is still a relationship
with her. Even though that relationship has changed because her
death, the memory of your mother can still be a source of comfort
and strength. Talking about her will keep the relationship vital
in your life and will greatly aid in the healing process. While
it could be healing for your family to talk more about your mother,
it is often wise to seek out someone who is not going through their
own grief journey.
