Yes, let us be with others in their grief and help them deal with it in their own way. Each person is different and platitudes don't help.

They don't help at all!

So... funny, for lack of a better word... I published this (wrote it before, of course) 2 days before my mom passed away.

It's been pretty mellow with everyone so far. I definitely struggle to eat! It's been interesting to observe.

Thank you so much! I was her caregiver for almost 8 years, so I'm struggling to do much of anything outside of caregiving at this time.

Strangely enough, I've only wanted to write and document this process of losing my mom and my caregiver role. We'll see where that takes me; it'll be open to the public probably but I probably won't promote it. Just a cathartic release and distraction I have the slightest interest in.

Writing is good for that.

VERY! I guess I have written a lot during heart-wrenching breakups... makes sense! Haha
