re: My Mother Died Today

I know you are within the grips of struggle. Not much will bring comfort. However, allow me to offer this. Your parents loved you beyond what words can describe. And they want nothing but the best life possible for you. The best thing you can do for them is to live your life so that it brings honor to their legacy and celebrates the sacrifices they made for you.

One suggestion that may help you going forward is to remember their favorite task and carry that forward. One thing that has helped me since my mother passed is to cook her favorite meals. She loved cooking for her friends and family. So when I cook a gumbo or crawfish bisque, I feel I am doing so with a nod to heaven. It doesn't exactly fill the void of her absence, but it does acknowledge her work in my life. Blessings to you in this hour. Even though there is hardship in the night, joy comes in the morning.
