Don't know what to do

I lost my mother 4 years ago too pancreatic cancer. 

I miss her a lot more than I tell people, on Christmas day my step dad gave me a DVD of them on Holliday in Florida and new Orleans. 

I'm terrified to watch it as I haven't got over her passing but I know next time I see him he will ask me about it. 

I know it's taken him months to edit and make this for me and I don't want to seem ungrateful, I really don't need too open old wounds

  • Hi there ...

    Some people , myself included watch the old silent videos of my mum and dad and feel really good .. and close to them, and it brings a smile to my face every time ... others like my niece, still can't watch videos of her hubby, and dad as she crys at the thought ...

    You have to do what's right for you ... and explain to your step dad ... your just not ready to look at it yet .. but thank him for taking the time to do it for you, and that one day when your ready, it's right there for you to look at ...  I'm sure he'd understand ... everyone is different ..
