Seriously, what comes after the pain and sadness? Anything?

It’s really hard to try and keep it together and carry your grief. Really fucking hard

I can’t help but relive the memories and moments leading up to my mom’s death. Unfortunately this is something I struggle with

Getting through hard days is tough enough as it is, but what do you do when it seems like everyone is avoiding you because your grief is too heavy or too much for them to take on?

Little TSwift because why not ? How being extra extra sensitive we are while grieving can make even the silliest situations seem awful.

Two days away from Mother’s Day I read my blog post from month 11 of my grief journey. It can be found on BeautyandtheGrief.com

Mother’s Day is approaching and feels impossible to avoid. How will you spend it? What can we do to honor and celebrate our mother’s on this day?

Give yourself permission to feel however you’d like about the things that move you while grieving. Nobody gets to judge why and what matters to you in this journey.

One of the hardest thing is getting rid of their things... or living in a new home they will never get to physically visit

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
