The day before last Thanksgiving, my younger son , age 55, died of a sudden heart attack. 19 years ago my elder son, at age 40, died of a brain tumor. So my life is turned upside down. I do have a loving spouse, community and 2 grandchildren.
I'll reply to myself. I've read some of the earlier posts to other people. My husbin a verand and I, both in our 80s, were super frugal to save money for my son, who was in a very unhappy marriage. Having grand dchildren gives us a purpose. Mother's Day was so hard. I keep replaying conversations and trying to figure out how I could have saved him.
