Thank you for sharing during this very difficult adjustment in your life.
Yes, this may be the most difficult loss of your life. For me, when my mother passed, I felt as though my inner compass cracked. I had a hard time finding my way without her love, wisdom, humor, support and daily encouragement. As time has elapsed, so has my inner strength and compass. Find the strength to walk in your mother's imprint she left for you and and share with your family a glimpse of her wisdom. It sounds like you learned so much from your mother. The gift of that imprint is now your gift to give those around you and make an impact in her name.
