A decade in heaven 🪽

10 years ago this morning, my mom took her final breath.

Today, I can’t stop thinking about the body that was failing her by the hour at the end of her fight and the spirit that just wouldn't quit.

She was a bad as they come. It's been a decade and l am still not over her fortitude & I probably won't ever be.

This life has been so hard but it's still so, so good.

Happy 10 years cancer free, mama. We will love & miss you forever. #suestrong

... Read moreLosing a loved one is a profound experience that reshapes our lives. As we navigate the grief, we often ponder the moments we cherished together. It's essential to remember that while their physical presence is missed, their spirit continues to influence our journey. Engaging in conversations about their life and legacy can be therapeutic, enabling us to celebrate who they were and what they stood for. Many find comfort in creating memorials, participating in support groups, or sharing their stories online with communities who understand similar experiences. Finding ways to honor their memory can help transform sorrow into gratitude for the time shared. As we reflect on a decade since my mother's passing, I strive to pass on her lessons of resilience, love, and joy amidst challenges. It's through this remembrance that we keep their spirit alive and acknowledge the light they brought into our lives.
