Grieving Mothers

i will never forget that morning after you died.

my first one without you.

i cried and cried and had to pinch myself because this all must have just been a bad dream, right?

but you were gone.. and it was no bad dream.

i kept telling myself it wasn't real, like maybe the world would rewind if i said it enough.

my mind knew you were gone, but my heart?

my heart begged for a different truth.

how can someone be here one second and then gone the next?

how can someone just disappear between two breaths?

and how, in this lifetime, are we ever supposed to get used to that kind of sadness?

Even though you didn't make it to the end of of my story, I will always have the corner folded down on your page...

Because it was one of my favorites.

Sometimes the only person you want to talk to, is in heaven...

Now I know why you always told me to be strong...

Because you knew. You knew that one day I would need the strength to bear your loss.

“I could never survive losing my child.”
Yeah… I said the same.

I said it so confidently, like it was something my heart would never have to prove.
Like it was a pain too big, too unbearable, too final to ever live through.

Until I didn’t have a choice.

Until my world stopped… but everything else kept going.
Until the sun still came up, people still laughed, life still moved forward…
and I was standing there trying to understand how mine didn’t.

Surviving wasn’t strength.
It wasn’t bravery.
It wasn’t some inspiring, beautiful thing.

It was waking up when I didn’t want to.
Breathing through moments that felt like they should’ve taken me with them.
Learning how to exist in a world that no longer looked the way it was supposed to.

Because the truth is…
you don’t survive it the way people think you do.

You just learn how to carry it.
Every single day.
