Death is Never Easy

So I in my lifetime have gone thru a lot of close deaths. My grandfather,my great grandmother,my great aunt and even my own mom. They all have came during times in my life when I was getting ready to move from one step of my life into the next. Kindergarten to Junior High, from having my mom to losing my mom, from junior high to high school,from high school to college and most recently from college into the real world. Death is in a way the start of a new beginning. Many times when someone in your family dies,someone is born to take their place. Well I just found out that one of the people that was there to mold me into the person that I would become is no longer with us. Her daughter who is the same age as me, holds her name and a lot of her attributes. She was always someone I could look up to and that I have very fond memories of. It is sad when anyone losses their parent ,it doesn't matter the age. I too lost my mom this month. It is always a sad time for me,and hard for a lot of people to understand. I hate lying about it but sometimes you don't want to hear the "well this is what they would want to do talk" or the "you must move on". It's your mother and you should be given the opportunity to grieve however you want.

My uncle told me a few years back that even in his older age sometimes he has to go see his mom and talk to her. I guess when people haven't gone thru what you have went thru it is hard for them to understand. So to my friend, I know you are strong and you have a lot of people to support you but just remember that that is your mom,you were the baby girl and you will always be the baby girl,until you meet your mom again. My prayers go out to you and ,I will keep those Westhaven dreams close to my heart.
