Where she used to stand.

I often wondered how I would find out – who would be tasked with "telling" me.  

Social media is the informer.

I never considered – I would not be told.

She passed.

 

I can't know their reasons, I can guess – they feel my estrangement doesn't require social graces.  

 

My journey with her, isn't theirs.

My interactions or the lack there of – and why – is not theirs.

My grief a long while ago – is now theirs.

I am sorry they lost a mom.

I lost a ghost, who I used to call Mom.

 

I feel peace in the space where she used to stand.

    I am saddened for you that it was not through a more personal message. With my sincere sympathy I send you my condolences. The grief of a parent, no matter how one suffers the loss, is great. Love & hugs, my friend!

    Thanks Denise, I appreciate your words. It has been a journey I wouldn’t wish on anyone – yet one that has been full of love, peace and joy. I am grateful for my small circle of family and wonderful women. Thanks for being you.
