I should've known

There would be someone whose comments felt like a roadblock.

I think though that her comments in the end are helpful. She feels that Christians are capable of going through stages of grief quite quickly and moving on to be productive again. At first I was really annoyed because I felt like I shouldn't cry while talking with her. Now that I've sat with it for a couple days I'm realizing that this isn't about that Mom died. It's about that Mom's gone. I know, vague and difficult to parse out. I'm not going to try this evening. Either way it's about how I feel.

I'm not the most comfortable displaying or analyzing my feelings. That's what here is all about. So, I think I'm ok and not annoyed. I do wish there were acceptable crying moments.
