a long, slow goodbye

I know I haven’t been very available lately and I’m sorry. My mom’s memorial was this past weekend and then my family and I spent a few days on the coast where my mom hosted family gatherings for so many years. Now everyone has left and taken what they wanted from her current home. It doesn’t get easier. It’s like all this grief has been bidding time knowing that we had to wait for her memorial because of the pandemic. So now things are becoming more final and it’s like a more final goodbye. I didn’t realize how much comfort I took in still having her home the way she left it on February 28. This has been a long, slow goodbye. I’m gutted. I appreciate your patience. Hugs!
