Just checking on you 🫶
Yes I text my momma sometimes 💜🕊️ yes I still have all her text and audio messages, voicemails, I still have her purse, dl, ss card, the nightgown she had on when she was rushed to the hospital they smell of her. I wear some of her moomoo’s to have her near. I just can’t and haven’t went through her personal things yet it’s a lot clothes, shoes, dishes, and etc. and This will be my 3rd Mother’s Day without my mother. If God’s will I’ll be celebrating my bday June 3rd I’m trying to push myself to do something but will change my mind in a heartbeat. I will listen to her voicemail a million times of her singing me HBD but honestly I can just stay home where I’m comfortable in my moomoo crying, laughing thinking of memories and looking at of her pics and vids of her with my little family that I know is always there for me. My husband is the best always my shoulder to cry on and trying to get me up and out the house to do something even on days I don’t have then strength to do anything. People only call or text you when it’s beneficial for them! I’m not that kind of person/friend (no many of them) I treat ppl how I want to be treated. I’ve learned every one don’t think or treat you back the same way. It don’t take me long to figure ppl out but once I do just know I love you and I wish you the best. Check on your strong friend(s) your people. Check on the people who check on you, don’t just call or text ppl when you need something or going through your situations. It’s take less then 60 seconds. I can’t thank you enough to the ones that do check on me daily or whenever you do I appreciate you so much 🤟🏾means more than you know 😘 #motherdaughter #mothersdaywithoutyou #mothersday #missingmymomma #grievingdaughter
Mother's Day can be an incredibly emotional time for those who have lost their mothers, and it’s important to recognize the depth of grief that lingers long after the loss. From personal experience, I've found that preserving tangible memories—like voicemails, clothes, or even the scent of a loved one’s item—helps keep that connection alive and provides comfort during difficult days. Wearing a cherished moomoo or listening to a voicemail of my mother singing ‘Happy Birthday’ brings both tears and laughter, reminding me of the love that surrounds me even when she is not physically present. What resonates deeply is the reminder that many people only reach out when they need something, but true support comes from consistently checking in, especially on those who seem strong. Grieving is not a linear process; some days are filled with memories and smiles, while others bring overwhelming sadness. Sometimes, it takes fewer than 60 seconds to send a message, a call, or even a simple emoji to remind someone they are not alone. This Mother’s Day, and every day, consider reaching out to friends and family who might be grieving—not just those who recently lost a mother but also those struggling with infertility, estranged relationships, or the loss of any cherished maternal figure. Your message might be the lifeline they need. Supporting each other with kindness and understanding fosters a community where healing is possible. If you find yourself struggling to engage in celebrations or social plans during these times, it’s okay to choose how you heal—whether by staying home, being with family, or simply allowing yourself to feel all the emotions. Remember, grief is unique, and honoring your own process is crucial. For those supporting someone in grief, patience and continual support make a lasting impact. Let’s make checking on each other a daily habit, not just a seasonal one.
So nice and beautiful ❤️
