This just flat out sucks

[Claire Oh Nette]

43. big hug, Glam

lost my mom to stroke, my birth-mom to ovarian cancer, MIL to Parkinson's in a six year period.

Slow and lingering, quick and unexpected, makes no difference. It's Mama, and Mama's gone.

"The guilt associated with a thankfulness that your mother is deteriorating" is grief, Glam. It starts before we lose them. They teach us everything except how to live without them.

Grief is the highest honor we have for our moms. All that love with no place to go.

another hug.
