Although, it has been three years the loss is still difficult. Thinking of mom today and remembering the time spent at a lavender farm. The aromatic scent of lavender in the air,, the warm sun on our faces as we walked through the fields and experienced a perfect day.
As I move through today, I know it will be tough. But remembering these great memories will help me get through the day. I am grateful most of all for all the time I did spend with my mom. I could spend the day trying to distract myself but sometimes it is better to set aside some time and just sit with your grief. Feel the emotions, let things bubble up. Then, step forward and do something calming such as yoga or a walk outdoors. Be kinder to yourself on these days when it is especially difficult.
