Surviving My Mother's Death. Part 8

     It felt like it was just a dream but more like a nightmare. That is the description of October 2019-May 2021. There are times I wake up and hope that it was just that, a bad dream and my mother is still here. The pain and emptiness that I feel seems to never fully leave, not even for a full day. I can be enjoying a TV show on Prime, watching a haul on YouTube or just shopping for decor at TJMaxx and Marshall's and in the middle of enjoying myself, there is a sense like I am missing something. MOM.

    That is OK. There is nothing wrong with missing your loved one while still trying to somehow enjoy things in Life. It is part of the normal stages of grieving. Well, at least to me it is normal. Don't ignore it but find a way to make time for both. Find a way to just BE!

The way I jumped into hosting mode to make sure my entire home was cleaned, food stocked, fresh sheets and towels available for family coming from out of town for her funeral, all while looking well put together, was such a mom thing. 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.

My Mother's Only Child- Happy Birthday.

 Today was my Mother's Birthday and I celebrated it the best way by attending a game for her favorite baseball team, The St Louis Cardinals.  It was such a wonderful time. Wholesome, relaxing and felt great existing in a space to celebrate our home team.  Just a few words to say Happy Birthday Mom and Go Cards! My Mother's Only Child, Sherri M. Littleton
