Nightly Gathering
Open Thread Post 35
Are you awake at night because you can’t stop thinking about your loved one? You miss them and you want the world to know? You want people to understand that this person was great? This person made you mad? You didn’t get to say everything you wanted to say before they passed? You want to share a memory you haven’t thought about in awhile? Is there something else about grief that you know now even though it’s been many years? Are you playing a “what if” game? This is the place to do it! I’m glad you found this site, and if you find it helpful or think somebody else can benefit, please share.
I’ll post this because it might help someone like it helped me. After I lost my mom in 2018, I found this quote that really fit what I was feeling. It sure helps you to understand the intricacies of this particular loss.
“The death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her”
