It has been 4 years. Some days it feels like yesterday. Those are the days I cry in the car after eating a Hershey’s bar she loved. Some days it feels like a lifetime ago, and in truth, it was. Grief and loss is transformational. You, your life, your identity will never be the same. I’m not the person I was when my mom was still alive. Thats grief, but that’s also growth. I think she’d like who I have become. That’s my testimony and tribute to her life and memory.
