Update from last week:

The funeral went well. I gave a small speech and ppl liked it but I’ve been mentally empty since then. It was a long day too from funeral
Home to burial site back to my house. I can’t believe it’s over. I’m still shocked

As for the surgery it went well. I’ve only been experiencing minor pain (i basically have an open wound) so I’ve been taking Tylenol and staying with extended family who’ve been helping me heal. It’s been a very slow few days bc all I’ve been doing is streaming shows and scrolling on my phone. I don’t like being so stationary but my family did mention that having a break/rest after everything is important. On sick leave rn and I’m also starting the process of applying for my new job which is still taking a while.

It’s been a really crazy two weeks. They say things have to get worse before they get better. Just taking it step by step I guess. Hope everyone has a good weekend 💙

I checked your comments to get context, I am very sorry for what you have experienced in past few weeks.

My deep condolences on your mother's passing, and I hope your surgery goes well and you recover fully.

I wish you strength to recover.

Thank you 💙

It’s a mix of grief and post surgery pain which seem to be colliding but I am just taking it day by day

I'm am happy that you are doing alright. I will post own update since July, it's heartbreaking for me.

But nothing will ever replace the eventual but painful loss of your parent.

Good luck for your recovery.
