My mother died last month. My sister hosted a lovely family memorial for her this past weekend. I put together a slideshow, for which my uncle, my mother’s brother, related stories of their childhood.
Now, my mind is mush. Grief mind. I do easy crosswords. My mother was an excellent crossword puzzler, unlike me, she could use a pen when filling in words.
Now she rests in peace and love with our father. They loved each other deeply.

My mother, a true beauty, and my parents, may they Rest In Peace together again
[…] post, I fear that I come off as self-centered, concerned more with my physical health than grieving my mother’s death. Perhaps that’s denial. It’s hard to properly grieve when dealing with health issues […]
I am sorry for your loss….
My prayers are with you!
Thank you.
Thank you. My prayers are with you and your loved ones.
I’m truly sorry. The pictures are beautiful. And heart breaking. Take good care of yourself.
Thank you, Bennie. Yes, I’m taking care of myself.
I’m so sorry, Kitt. I’ve been away from my blog for quite some time, so I’m just now seeing this. It’s so hard to lose such an important figure in your life. I don’t know if you’ve experienced this sort of loss before, but don’t let anyone rush your grieving process. The whole first year is painful – all those first holidays, first birthdays, first anniversaries without your loved one – but it does get easier. Never goes away entirely, but gets manageable.
Yes, the firsts are tough. Thank you.
I’m sure she is happy enjoying her stay with our Lord, though it’s so grieving to see someone you love so much. Stay strong, keep her in your prayers. God bless.
Thank you for your prayers. Yes, she’s joined our father (both our earthly father and our heavenly Father) in heaven.
I’m so sorry for your loss Kitt. I hope you and your family are well, and I’m sure your parents were wonderful people. ❤️🌹
Thank you.

Thank you, Cathy.
I’m very sorry for your loss. My mom died a couple of months ago, and I haven’t been able to write. She also loved crossword puzzles. It’s hard to get back into that headspace. Sending lots of love.
I’m starting with easy crosswords to jog my numbed brain.
Sorry for your the loss of your mother Kitt. Hugs.
Thank you.

Thank you so much.
Such beautiful parents, Kitt!!! I am glad they are together again, watching over you and the rest of your family. And how moving that you put together that slideshow…especially when you have mush mind caused by grief. Please take extra-good care of yourself
Love you!
Love you, too, Dy! Mush brain sucks.
I’m so sorry to hear of your devastating loss, Kitt. Grief can be compounded by additional deaths, as you’re experienced first hand. I offer you and your family my condolences, and will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you for holding us in your prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss Kitt. Remembering them both and that they are together again should put a smile on your face in the darker times.
Huge Hugs
That it does. They loved one another very much.
Kitt, so sorry for your loss. Mother has been gone five years and dad nearly ten. We lost our yiungest brother yesterday. I share your pain. And my mind is numb as well. Love and hugs from afar
