Comments on: Birthday http://iris-impressions.com/2009/01/birthday/ observations & creations but never clarifications Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ingrid http://iris-impressions.com/2009/01/birthday/comment-page-1/#comment-262 Ingrid Sat, 07 Feb 2009 22:37:54 +0000 http://iris-impressions.com/?p=42#comment-262 I lost my mum when I was eleven. That is 36 years ago now, and I've been through layers and layers of grief. From feeling nothing to feeling everything and everything in between. I still always remember her birthday, every year. And yes, it feels weird for me too to have lived longer without her than with her. It's something that has shaped us and that we have to come to terms with somehow. I translated a book by Hope Edelman (do you know her?) into Dutch. She wrote Motherless Daughters. I translated the sequel Motherless Mothers into Dutch (my native tongue). See you on Tam's network.

Maybe this should be a *humps* to bring back old memories :) *hugs* I knew about your mum, but I didn’t realise it happened when you were 15, I thought you were younger.
