On Monday my mom said her last goodbye and went to meet dad in heaven.

Is grief ever messy, and unpredictable.

I can say that losing mom certainly took the wind out of me and to find my footing again has been interesting.

I am grateful to have been part of mom’s palliative journey and that she had opportunity to see some loved ones for a hug, to share tears and say goodbye.

Today I find myself forgetting and then stopping myself when I go to say ‘I’m heading to mom’s’ or to message her to ask her if she needs any groceries or to simply ask her a question I know she would know the answer to.

Following my own advice that I have given to so many people isn’t easy and has been tough. The advice to ‘take time’, ‘rest’, ‘it’s ok not to be ok’….

Well as my journey proceeds, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who sent messages, brought food, sent flowers and checked in.

I am blessed to have such supportive friends,
my wonderful work team, my beautiful daughters and son in laws, my husband Dave who has been by my side all the way through this journey, my lovely aunt and uncle and my two brothers and their families. I can’t imagine not having these people in my life.

The circle of life …. This week… I’m not a fan and would love to go back to last week when mom and I had our last good visit.

I will miss you mom, rest now and I will see you on the other side ❤️
