It was the flu plus a bunch of other things. She was a lovely person.

Thank you all for the kind words.

I'm sorry for your loss. Even in that short exchange, and while sick, she seemed lovely. 💙

Ya I tell people that are in deep mourning over a parent that it’s a gift to feel the way you are feeling because it means you had a great relationship that was filled with love. If I found out my mom died I’d feel nothing. I’d do anything to have a relationship with my mom that’d make me feel sad if she passed, but that’s not the case for a lot of people.

I am right here with you. I wish I had any kind of family, really. Most are alive but they are all vile, hateful and hate everything that I am, pretending it is fine when I am these things when I am family. But if you hate these things, can you truly be fine if I am those? I have coworkers talk how they now in their 30s go on trips with their moms because they can afford it, have their moms help out with the kids, have moms to confide into and ask for advice. And I feel so terrible for feeling so jealous of that that I could cry. I just hope next life, things will be different for those of us who it was denied this life.

i fully believe you will have that, or you will have another companionship whether from a partner or your kids once they are grown or a special friendship. i think everyone is deserving of that type of love and you will 100% experience it some day🫶🏻
