My mum passed away a few years after my dad. We were still grieving the loss of my dad and then a few years later my mum. I couldn't understand why life was so cruel and unfair. Even now, I still struggle to comprehend.
My mum was my everything. She would go to great lengths to make her children happy. She loved us unconditionally and provided for us until she fell ill. That was a devastating time for me emotionally.
She was the most beautiful woman I've ever known - hardworking, kind, and always happy. She never held grudges and made sure each of us felt loved and special. Even when it was only her providing for the family, she would make sure she prepared each of our favorite meals at the end of every month ( what an amazing woman) She taught me to appreciate life's little things and to be content, hardworking, and independent.
Writing this made me very emotional, but I'm glad to share how amazing my mum was with you all, I love you so much, Mama.

The pain of losing her still feels like a fresh wound, I still remember everything like it was yesterday. Seeing her close her eyes forever had to be the worst day of my life.
I miss her guidance, her smile, her yam sauce (nobody makes it like her), her sense of humor, her beautiful voice, and I miss her late-night advice and talks about life (even when I thought they were annoying at the time hahaha).
She was an angel, she made life so easy for me and my siblings
My mum would always praise me and my siblings saying she was blessed to have us, but to me, we were blessed to have her as our mom.
I feel there are some losses you never get over. Honestly, I've not been able to move on from her death ever since. Some days I feel so down and also like she just passed away even tho it's been years.
The pain hits differently every single time.
And to everyone out there who has lost a loved one at some point in time, just know that it's okay to grieve for a long time, it's a slow process, and trust me when I say it gets better.
You don't forget about the person but you grow around the pain. But they're some days when you miss that person a little extra

Grief is like an ocean, and all we can do is learn to swim.Vicki Harrison said it best: "Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim."
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross also said: "The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered."
