I lost my mom on Saturday..........

85. Holding you in the Light, nc4bo

The pain of losing a Mom is so very hard to bear.

I will tell you what someone wise told me when my Dad died:

"That pain in your heart? It's a rip, in the fabric of spacetime. It's the place where your Dad's love can still reach through for you, and someday his hand will be able to reach through, and hold your heart."

I love the picture. Your Mom looks like such a wise, caring elder. It's heartbreaking to reflect that you won't be able to hug her, won't have her comforting physical presence when you're feeling vulnerable, or when you're looking to share something special that you know she'd love.

After a time, I learned with my Dad, though, that everything he ever gave me, I still have. Including his love, his sense of humor, his quick explosions of wrath followed by laughter at himself and hugs all around.

I wish for you that as time passes, you discover this about your Mom, too, and can find comfort in her presence within.

warmly,
Bright
