It’s coming up on a year without my mom and this time has taught me healthy detachment. Losing my shorty has taught me that I’m not afraid of the darkness as much as I thought.
People are OD during the holidays. Consume, consume, consume, buy, buy, buy. Spend time with your people. Make thoughtful gifts. Give your kids memories. It’s too much outside validation in the mix.
@Raindropsmedia1 A 7 year old doesn’t understand quality, they understand quantity. 7 gifts is 7 gifts. I doubt he’s being ungrateful, he’s being a kid. I feel like mom could be taking it a bit more personal, he just doesn’t understand. That’s all.
I lost my mom this year. If it would’ve happened a few years ago, I would’ve jumped off the deep end. Wildly enough, I was prepared for her passing. All things happen in their timing.
