| My Mom and my girls – July 2013 |
My Mom died on September 9th, 2013.
I was expecting it.
But then again, I wasn’t.
Not like that…
::
Since she’s died, I’ve written… and I’ve shared my thoughts on this wretched experience. I’ve been moved by the support, the love and the solidarity. Absolutely encompassed in love.
This is a club that I pray that none of you are already members of. But if you are, I’m sorry. From the bottom of my heart.
Read more about my story here, dear friends. And please, tell me about yours. You can always email me.
It starts on September 9th, 2013.
—The Story of Loss. On Losing my Mom. And some other grief and loss posts thrown in for good measure.
