As I was grieving over the loss of my mom soon to come 6 years on 1/2 last night…I came to find out my coworker’s husband lost his dad suddenly to a stroke yesterday.
Though I grieve and it is painful, I don’t wish the sudden loss of a loved one on anyone. The deep pain that comes from your soul is unlike any other. And, it sucks, it fucking sucks…and there is nothing to be done to make it better.
I’m already dreading Friday…6 years to the day and the first same day of the week my mom died by suicide.
I may always ask why, but I have come to know she was in pain from arthritis and depression. Her brother and mom both died by suicide I imagine by more complicated mental health conditions. I don’t blame her…but I miss her so much. I am glad she isn’t in pain.
I’m grateful she was my mother and I am often reminded about what a great legacy she left.
Today, I am grateful for my mom. She provided so many fabulous opportunities and support to my family and friends. I still can’t believe she died 5 years ago this evening…I miss her so much.
Cheers to you mom.
