The Moment Grief Hits You.

~ quirkymoms486

Grief is really hard..

I feel like you can have days of feeling absolutely fine and then all of a sudden it’s the middle of the day or it’s time for bed and something just stops you in your tracks. Like tonight.

Tonight for me it was a stuffed animal oddly enough. Max from secret life of pets. A phase of characters my son went through of course and everything my kids love, Gigi always had to get for them. 

Giving was definitely her love language. 

I know in a way it’s a comfort to be surrounded by so many things bought or personalized from her to cherish but it dosent stop the pain of missing what really matters. Her. 

Her sweet soft voice that always brought comfort. Chatting with her. Telling her something funny or cute the kids did that day or complaining when they are being a little too stubborn.

Gosh, just asking a simple question because usually mom always seems to have an answer. 

Losing a parent is an indescribable feeling. One that a lot of time doesn’t even seem like it’s real besides in those little moments that bring you back to reality. 

Those moments when you are reminded of the loss, the anger of wondering why they had to be taken from you. When you can’t physically be comforted or talk to them like you desperately want to. 

It’s painful. 

I know it’s always said that time will heal all things and I’m sure it does. But when you’re in the thick of your grief it’s hard to imagine, I don’t think it will ever fully heal. 

And that’s ok. 

The memories in time won’t make it so painful but will be comforting.

Comforting to know that at least you have all the beautiful memories.

Even though it will never replace the love you felt when they were here with you. 

So tonight I’ll tuck Max in with my daughter who dragged him out of the basket and I’ll tell her all about how Gigi loved watching that movie with us and how she knows it’s bringing us comfort. 

Because that’s the best thing you can do in your grief, is keep their memory alive.

Please, hold your loved ones tight.

I miss you mom❤️

  6. I feel all of this and my heart goes out to you. Lately I have thought that grief is only getting harder the further I get from our final goodbye. I’m sure it’s all part of the grieving process, but it’s still so hard. Beautiful words, and it sounds like your mom was one of the best!

  8. This really hit close to home. Today was the first Mother’s Day without my mom…and as much as I’m grateful to be a mom, I was equally heartbroken, wanting so desperately to be able to give my mom a hug.Really appreciate you writing this! Thanks!
