These last eight weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions. Watching a parent's health decrease and seeing their light for life leave is most definitely the hardest thing I have ever experienced. It is a flood of emotions and grief all at once and then as days go by it hits when you least expect it. It is often the smallest thing that triggers the feelings of loss too. A song, a word, a photo, a memory. You want to celebrate their memory and spirit alongside feeling moments of overwhelming sadness. Taking one day at a time and allowing the weight of it day by day as it comes is how I am getting thru it. Some days are better than others.
