Today is the Monday after my mother’s death. I made it through yesterday (Sunday) and seemed fine. Today I woke up feeling alone and not ready to face the day at all. I am sure the feeling with pass but right now I am sitting in the moment and letting this feeling just hang on me. I need to grieve and grief hits a person at strange times and in strange ways. I am very thankful for my mom and all that she did for me and it hurts to know that I will not be able to see her any more in this life. No one can really take her place. But I write these words because I also know that others can help me through this season of life. So, today I am thankful for my family and friends who have reached out to me and help me stumble along. Thanks!!!!!
