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.

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- 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
