As if life isn’t demanding enough, but now you’ve had a parent die while you’re navigating being a parent yourself to your own littles. Suddenly you’re thrown into your own grief while trying to figure out how to grieve alongside your children. The enormity of it all feels indescribable.

Even surrounded by people who love & care about you, the pain of it all can feel so isolating. Who else can understand the depths of this pain?

The head reeling at the end of the day.
Restless nights.
Waking up feeling as if all your energy has already been drained for the day before it even begins.
Crying at the most random times, driving, doing the dishes, trying to grocery shop.
Every joyful moment paired with the pang of loss.

Time suddenly divides, into life before your parent died and life after. I know you’re scared to feel the intensity of it all, but I also know you’re here because you don’t know what else to do.

Even though we cannot avoid the pains of grief, we were never built to go through this alone. And as a mom myself, I don’t want to see you lose yourself in the sadness and upheaval of it all. I know you’re so so tired. I’ll be here, when you’re ready.
