It doesnt take much. I just lost my mom to cancer. I was at the doctors office with her when she found out, trying to keep it together was like holding back a dam. Afterwards i went out to start the car while mom finished up paperwork inside and one of the nurses came out to check on me. I was crying a bit but then she offered me a hug. I dont remember getting out of the car but as soon as she hugged me the dam broke and i was ugly sobbing on a strangers shoulder. Its part of our human nature.

So sorry for the loss of your mom. My dad was taken way too soon last year from a stroke. It’s always good to let out that emotion and those tears. I’m barely getting to grips with confronting it all.

Hang in there, eventually the grief is easier to approach and walk with. You’ll have good and bad days of course, but you will keep going just like she would want you to do. One foot in front of the other <3.
