I never realized just how hard it would be to deal with family issues when I'm so far away from the family. I mean I have my own little family here with me, but everyone else has been left behind when we moved here.

Late last night my mom sent an email to my brother and myself. I didn't get it until this morning. It's a bit weird and is sort of a list of instructions on what she wants done with her body after she dies. She's not sick now aside from depression, so this comes as a surprise to me.

Before I got the email I called my mom but there was no answer. So I figured she was out running errands or something and I left a message. About an hour later is when I checked my email and found it. A couple hours later my mom still hadn't called back. So I called again and still there is no answer. At this point I'm starting to get worried. My mom is not one to not call. She usually calls me 20 times a day. And today she hasn't called once. Nor has she answered any of my phone calls.

I feel so helpless here. All I can do is sit and wait and hope she calls soon. I called my sister in law and asked her to go check on her, but she doesn't sound like she really wants to. She just got mad that my mom isn't answering her phone. What if something happened? What if something is wrong. What if her depression got the worst of her?

Is there someone who can go and check on your mom for you? I can only imagine how you're feeling right now. :( That has to be so difficult.

I'll send thoughts and prayers your mom's way, and yours.
