Hi, PML. It has been 8 years and my hubs and I still can't bring ourselves to watch the Young and the Restless (lol)! And my mom was a fan of Victor as well! I think I will watch it today! Seriously, I would talk to her about the show to check her cognition. Now I need someone to check mine. Grief is the hardest emotion for me to live with day after day. I don't grief my loss anymore, but I think about mom nearly every day. I miss her but have 'taken her to heart' and she is with me all the time.

Hi Linda!
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! It is so hard when you have had such a good mom as it seems yours and mine were and then they are gone; albeit up in Heaven where we'll see them again but still not here with us! My cousin in NY also watches Young and the Restless because her mom watched it. Her mom died a few years ago. She feels closer to her mom by watching it everyday. Her mom liked Victor also! (Maybe we should start a club!) My mom died in 1991; 32 years ago! I still think about her daily. However, now I have a new husband, well, 28 years of marriage. We watched Young and the Restless together also. My husband liked Victor also and so did I ! We don't watch it anymore now. It's too time consuming! We just weren't getting anything else accomplished. Soaps like Young and the Restless are good for when you are grieving or feeling lonely or sad. It takes your mind off your problems and in many ways, the characters almost become like family or friends. Plus they are always there for you while in many cases your real family and friends often aren't there when you need them. My mom always said that, "You can choose your friends but you are stuck with your family!"
