I wouldn’t have put it on tik-tok and, of course didn’t, but my mother passed away a few months ago, and her death has hit me harder than I expected. She was almost 90 and had been very active up until the final few months.
I knew in my head that she would be passing away soon, but it was still hard to accept. I still find myself wanting to call her to tell her something or ask a question. And, sometimes tears come to my as I realize she is truly gone. She and we children were all very close and seldom a day went by that I didn’t talk to her and I usually stopped by once a week to visit and chat.
I loved the part about dancing when they knew she was gone and were dancing as she instructed. My mother told us that we should celebrate she has gone on to be with the Lord. I do, but she didn’t tell me I couldn’t miss her. That, I do as well.
I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. It doesn’t matter that everyone’s mother dies. One’s mother is unique and special and we want them to live happily forever. It’s a tragedy when a good person leaves this earth and it should cause raging and tears and, gradually, cherished memories. Sharing those memories lets others remember her, too. May the memory of her love for you be around for a long, long time.
