• I get it, I understand totally.  My mother died suddenly in 2018, and it was quick, and it hit my like a train. Only child, of an unmarried mother, so it was me that was depended on, her illness, her hospice, her death. In that moment it was a difficult path to walk alone. So many memories NOW that I wish I could redo. But...you don't know what you don't know...and that was cancer. In 2 weeks, it surfaced and she was buried. I still see myself at the cemetery with the director and another caretaker,  to put her urn into the grave. No crowd, just 2 strangers and me.
• I miss my mother too. Tumultuous was our dance also. I understand that more now too, as I near 65 and retrospect gives me a better view. 
• I'm a person of faith, so death doesn't define an end. She is in her forever home and I hope now she has accepted and living in joy.
• It's ok to be hurting. Days are like that. They come in movements that bring out hurt and finally healing. We are human, we are daughters, and loss is lonely.

@katie1859 Welcome!🥰 Reading your post touched me deeply, and the tears are flowing!😢 I am SO very sorry for your grief!❤ I know all TOO well how it injures the soul, and that the injury never FULLY heals, but as time goes by, our processing and acceptance through PRAYER and reflection, grants us emotional PEACE and comfort when we need it!🙏

This thread was started a few days before Mother's Day when I was QUITE sentimental about my dear mother's journey to Heaven!❤ I am in a much better place; having processed it for now!🥰

THANK you SO much for caring to share your touching story!🤗

~~~All we need is LOVE💖
