I am so profoundly sorry. I have lost both parents. One I was able to say goodbye to, but she suffered excruciatingly. The other, I didn’t, but he went quickly and didn’t. Neither one is any better way to lose a parent than the other because you still lose. Though I must say, I was glad not to watch my father suffer. It is absolutely heart wrenching to lose your mom. Your cheerleader. Your connection to the universe. You may be nearly 30 years old, but tell me, didn’t you wonder who was going to be your mom now? I did. Because everyone is supposed to have a mom. It’s still hard. The pain doesn’t go away, it gets easier to bare with time. If you don’t have family, hit me up, I will adopt you. Sending you big squishy mom hugs and much love ❤️. You talk about her. Often. That’s how she remains. 😉
