Dear Mom:
Why doesn't anyone understand? I know they are trying to be helpful with their kind platitudes. It's just words. Words don't help. Words are not comforting.
Everyone's journey of mourning and grieving is different. Some pass through it quickly, others take much longer. I am not passing through it quickly.
I am adrift in the sea of life. My anchor is gone. You were my anchor. Some would tell me to make God my anchor. I believe in God. I believe in the power of prayer. I don't have the blind faith that others have. I wish I did.
Trying to be positive is easier said than done. Moving forward is difficult. I am honest with myself. I am not ready to accept this new reality. I am stuck on the past. I am stuck on wanting you back in my life. You were taken from me/us far too early.
I don't need answers to my statements. I don't need advice. All I need is for someone to acknowledge my pain, to ask me if there is anything they can do. No one can complete this journey except me. No one can hasten me on my way. I am alone in my travels.
I miss you Mom. I always will. I do honor you in my heart, but that doesn't change the fact that I want you with me. I wish people would understand that. I love you.
xoxo,
Nay
