Surviving My Mother's Death. Part 4

     Yesterday I was thinking about the many times my mom encouraged my creativity as a child. But when I became an Adult, she admired it. Often she would say I could see the things, the bigger picture, whereas others could not.  Writing this blog is one aspect of my journey in understanding my mother's death and dealing with my new life without her.

    For those that also lost their mothers recently, the type of pain mixed with anxiety to carry on the promises made to them can be quite heavy. But what I suggest is to find something creative that can help you live and honor their memory, the bigger picture.

I made sure everyone was comfortable and couldn't stop cleaning and hosting. I could see the worry in my aunts, uncle and cousins eyes. I couldn't stop making sure everything was perfect.       Perfect for MY MOM's FUNERAL and for the family. She ...

My Mother's Only Child. I Voted!!!

      I have memories of my mother being excited to see me vote for the first time. It was at the public library and the excitement that we had was quite overwhelming. Years later, after her death I felt my mom with me today as I voted for a person that represents me and many others in this country. I could feel her hug on me as I became emotional while stepping up in line. I feel confident, calm and excited! Yes, it's still a bit overwhelming and as tired as I am, I am READY!!! We got this!!! My Mothers Only Child.
