Dear Jack:

In your original post you wrote: “I’ve also been suffering from extreme homesickness since moving to Denver… it isn’t home; New England is where my roots are…I’m just extremely homesick”

Yet, when your mother died, in Maine, while you were living in Boston (correct?), your automatic reaction, it seems, was to run away from New England (your home) to Denver. If New England is home, be it Boston or Maine, why did you run away from home when distressed?

I am asking this because I think of home as the place/people where one finds comfort. Yet when you needed comfort most, you ran away from home.
