From my Mother’s book: I have loved family, friends, nature, animals, music and many other things. It will be hard to say goodbye to those I love and to the beauty in the world.I read these words for the first time when I was surrounded by packing boxes in my mother’s apartment, a month after her death. I tried to picture her face as I read the words but the memories of the last two months as she lay dying, were too painful. I closed her book.On a rainy Sunday afternoon, one year from the day my mother was admitted to the hospital. I suddenly knew the time had come to remember and honour her life and her death.For a month, I kept on reading the notebook I had kept during her hospitalization and my mother’s book. When I finished reading, I realised that my mother was no longer lost to me; in some new and different way I had regained her.(1) Why would it be hard to say goodbye to certain things for the writer?(2) When did the writer happen to read some words from her mother’s book?(3) Why did the writer close her book?(4) How had the writer regained her mother?(5) Pick out the words from the passage which mean:(i) continued(ii) full of grief
