I wish our story didn’t end the way it did

I wish she knew how big of a part of my heart she really has and how much of a presence she has in my home and with my babies

I wish she saw my strength as an accomplishment - something to be proud of me for

I wish she were here

One month. I didn’t know losing her one month ago would be so hard.

I miss her more than I have words to describe but I’m finding her in every aspect I can - like in the vibrant, bright colour of my babies eyes that look just like hers

the weight of my own guilt is heavy

and even though I work actively at letting it go, I feel it, all the time, and it’s so heavy

this past month I’ve turned to affirmations - a way of reminding my 🧠 not to believe everything I think

it helps

if you’re carrying guilt, heavy guilt or just a nagging, today’s affirmation is for you

drop a 🤍 if you can relate

this page is a place that strives to make you feel seen & empowered to take on the good, the bad, and the ordinary aspects of life with grace and a sense of belonging

I hope you feel that

Happy Monday, loves

I am not defined by my worst moment, neither are y

I am not defined by my worst moment, neither are you⁠⁠
⁠⁠
so let me be your reminder that you are not what you think you are ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
this morning was awful - overwhelm led to screaming which snowballed into anger followed by a good cry ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
and those self destructive thoughts wasted no time making me feel like a terrible person ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
but here's the truth: I am human. My children are human. And we all have feelings that are valid. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
so when the intensity of those feelings comes to the surface it doesn't define you anymore than it defines your children ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
tomorrow is a new day, and the ☀️ is going to shine ⁠⁠

enjoy the moments while they are happening ⁠

for me, it was watching my baby get on the bus, brave as could be, on her first day of school ⁠
⁠
I am reminding myself (and maybe you?) to stop worrying about what could happen and be present for what does happen as it does ⁠
⁠
happy first day to those who sent their babies off to school - cheers to raising a generation of leaders ❤️⁠

doing the work to heal is hard but right now doi

doing the work to heal is hard

but right now doing that work is the only thing saving me from the emotional rollercoaster of losing my mom

I feel extraordinarily cruel I didn’t try harder, that I didn’t see what she was able to offer, or see the bigger picture

but all that exhaustive work is what is keeping me from punishing myself

Today I say goodbye to my mom

and I’m feeling the weight of that in every inch of my body

but I am reminding myself that while the pain of saying goodbye like this is extraordinarily painful - I made the right choice

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to offer me strength, space, and love - I am so grateful
