Thank you for your kindness and your tears, Dear Kim. I don’t know if there is ever a good time to lose your mom. I am so very sorry this pain has come into your life. I’m about 1/2 way through the book Dennett recommended to me — Motherless Daughters — A legacy of loss. I highly recommend it — no matter when you’ve lost your mom. My best friend lost her mother to Alzheimer’s a bit over a year ago — her mother was in her 70s and my friend in her 50s. It was still brutal.

I don’t think most of us get ‘past’ it. We just learn to live our lives around the void.

Please be kind to yourself. ❤
