Surviving My Mother's Death. Weekly Post. Part 17

      A rebirth is sometimes necessary to move forward. Part of my process in healing from my Mother's death( that is still weird for me to say), is understanding that I must become a different person, a woman that my mother  raised and groomed me to become. The next phase in healing is understanding WHO that woman really is.  

    One of the things I remember as a kid was watching my mother and imitating her moves including her walk, way of doing her hair, natural makeup, nails and her wardrobe. Walking in her high heels and playing dress-up with her clothes and jewelry was exciting. I'm sure many girls experience similar activities. Now, as a woman, I treasure all of those items that I inherited and the memories as well.  They will hell me in my journey of becoming Me.

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 Mothers Only Child. 

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!
