That’s when it dawned on me that some people think because it’s been more than a year since your parent passed away that you’re supposed to just move on and get over it??? Yeah, grief changed me and my life forever. I’ll never be the same without my mom.
I’ll never forget this stupid ass mf responding with “I thought you were healed” when I told him I was feeling sad/down about my mom passing away. Tuhhhh, I never cut someone off so quick the way I did in that moment.
unfortunately, i am my family’s most independent and distant child so i will sit here by myself, pretend i don’t need anyone, and fight every single problem by myself
Being my moms caretaker for 3 years + almost losing my life after my mom passed away really showed me how bad stress is and what it can do to your body. So when I tell folks I really don’t play about my peace, I mean that. Life is too damn short to be stressing.
