Surviving My Mother's Death...Part 5

    "Privacy Doesn't Mean Silence." That is the quote I just heard from Oprah this morning promoting the series, "The Me You Can't See" with Prince Harry. Wow was that right on time. I needed this. There was another gentleman that also talked about his mother's sudden death and wow, I don't feel alone in my anger, frustration and sadness. It leads to a strength in creativity to deal with it all. 

    I am grateful I have a supporting network of family and friends but it doesn't erase the emptiness I feel without my wonderful mother. I am blessed that I was able to tell her those things while she was alive and even more grateful she did the same.  Honestly, that is the main thing that keeps me sane.  I must live my life for my mother, to honor her memory in everything I do. 

My mother was mostly private, but I am not silent and my creativity is my therapy.

My Mother's Only Daughter

 January 10, 2023     Today, I decided to not survive, but thrive! A few years ago I started writing on my blog again after the passing of my beautiful Mother, Alma Jean Dortch Littleton. It helped me to vent and at that time, begin my Life without her. But, I am not without her...she's here. I can feel her protecting me and guiding my decisions every day. She is just not here physically. Although many people in my family would always call me her junior, it is more apparent now. 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 Mother's Only Child-- What I've been up to?

 February was my Birthday month, and it was nice. Finally took a long-awaited trip to California, San Francisco to be exact and I quite enjoyed it. Solo trips are my thing, and it is one of best therapy tools that I used in the last few years. Staying in downtown San Fran in Fisherman Wharf was the perfect spot to enjoy food trucks, local stores, participate in a street festival, take a yacht tour to see the Golden Gate bridge and relax on the beach. Perfect weather, nice people and the best time to meditate and spiritually thank my Mom and all my relatives watching over me. A superb experience. I highly recommend anyone that has made it to the healing part of the grieving process to do solo trips. It is what your loved ones would want for you. Well Worth it! My Mother's Only Child, Sherri M. Littleton
