NER/NWR Need to vent

I am terribly sorry for your loss. My thoughts go out to you and your family. It's going to be hard, but cherish the times y'all had together.

I am so sorry. Everyone grieves differently, so don't let anyone tell you how to feel. If you don't want to look at the pictures, that's fine. Look at them when you're ready, even if it's a year from now. And if you break down crying every day, that's okay. It's part of the healing process.

I'm glad you have a very nice, supportive husband who is taking care of you right now. You are not a burden. I promise.

Thanks everyone.  Now that it's been about a week, and the memorial service is over, I'm slowly starting to think about regular day-to-day life again.  I recently remembered that I still have a stack of unfinished thank you notes.  I was only one-third of the way done with them when Dad passed away.  I haven't been able to work on them since he died because I've been so busy helping my Mom with stuff (and also I've been totally exhausted and just haven't felt like it). 

Monday will be one month since my wedding.  I had planned to have them all done by now.  Is it terrible that I haven't gotten them done yet?  Do you think people will understand, given the circumstances, or should I start working on them and try to get them done ASAP?  I'm usually not a procrastinator when it comes to thank you notes.  Is this a big deal right now or something that can wait another week or two?  I'm still trying to get a lot of things squared away for my Mom, like her Social Security benefits, and I'm inclined to think that is more important right now.

It can wait a few weeks.  I would be shocked if anyone side-eyed it taking a little longer to get their Thank You notes under the circumstances, your Mom is absolutely more important right now.
