NORTH ADAMS â It has been over a month since my mom died. And you know what? I am doing OK. I mean, I really am doing OK. Not just OK, but actually kind of good, and that surprises me. The support I have received from my friends, colleagues and subscribers to The Eagle, who read my previous column, has been truly amazing. I have learned that my column, about my experience of caring for my mom, has touched so many people that I ever could have imagined. Those who care for their parents or have cared for their parents have said that, through my column, they followed my journey for the last three years. Many have even said that they took solace in my words and found my truth to be theirs as well. My soul couldnât be happier to hear that.
