“Family Refeshings”
It’s a transition- that’s what everyone says including us. There are good days, not so good days, but a common denominator constant for mom... and that is love. How lucky am I to have amazing family visiting from literally the other side of the world to just love on mom in whatever format makes her feel full of joy?! If one were to look up the word joy, you could just copy/paste my mom’s smile and disregard any actual words. It's these family refreshings that serve as a gentle reminder of who we really are deep down despite having those best versions of ourselves buried due to circumstance. So, forgive me if I may be a bit protective of having her overwhelmed or just wanting space to process how much she misses her true life partner. I could also ask forgiveness to those that may have experienced my more than temperamental side... being closed off, ‘spirited’, or just whatever. I’m trying my best to get through all this the best way I know how by not living on an island of ignorance, but rather reflecting on how I support others to, in turn, feel supported. I’m grieving yet getting to a better place. We all are. It’s a transition- that's what everyone says including us.
