Early this morning, at around 1:30am, I lost my mom to cancer.
My family has much to be thankful for, and I thank God for blessing me with such a great mom, who fought this disease for many years.
I hardly ever heard her complain or talk to me about her pain…
I know it’s normal to feel lost. Situations like these feel so unique to you… but, I do know death is something everyone experiences.
The love we have experienced so far, from family and friends, makes my heart full.
But deep down I am lost and don’t know where to go on my path forward.
I want to honor my mom. I’m her only one.
I want to strengthen the relationship I have with my father.
I want to become better instead of bitter, and live life with love, fullness, and purpose. I recognize that the grief will come in waves… I’m still in shock.
Mom poured so much love into me, and so many others. Even when she was in so much pain and suffering. She never once let it define her.
Mom was a fighter. She was a woman of faith… I know she is at peace now.
Her love will forever sustain me and my family… and I will carry her with me, always.
TL;DR
I wanted to ask you all for advice on moving forward… and any books you may know of that could help.
Hold on tightly to those you love. Act in love. May nothing hold you back in showing and expressing that.
May God bless you all.
