Writing, for me is therapeutic. I have another blog, one that mostly dealt with education and teaching issues. I unloaded lots of stuff there but also shared some of my feelings about NYC, the city I love, vacations and of course, my family.
My dad passed away several weeks ago. I pretty much had the responsibility of overseeing his care for years. I was the only one nearby for him after my mom died. For six years I called 3 times a day, at least and visited every week and more if he needed me.
My husband and I are now in the process of emptying his apartment. It is both physically and mentally draining. I am starting this blog as a place to unbottle what I am feeling and to also share some of the things I learned about hospice and end of life care. Hopefully, while helping myself, I will be able to post things to help others.

I'm so glad you're doing this for yourself. When you suggested it to me last week, I thought it was a great idea. I just haven't fully committed to it yet. If I decide to take the plunge, you'll be the FIRST to know. =)
