Now what?

Now what... it's been over 2 weeks since my mom passed away and I just feel awkward I guess. Most days I feel like I have not really been grieving. With days filled with the kids, the house, the process of moving, some issues with pregnancy...I feel like I've just been so busy that I haven't really had the time to completely deal with all this. Is that bad? Is it just the timing and more will come later? We had to do everything in California so fast, I kind of feel like "now what?". I know I did a lot of grieving on our drives to and from CA, but somehow it all just seems so final, like there is no point is asking "now what?".

Our lives go on... without my mom being a part of it, just the memories we have. I know the Lord's timing is perfect for His plans. Oh to stay focused on things above...
Colossians 3:2-4 says, "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory."
I shared these verses (and then some) with my mom the day before she went into surgery. My women's Bible study is in the book of Colossians and it had been my intention to write those verses on my heart. I have yet to completely memorize them....maybe I need to finally do it?!
