You just have to go right through the middle of it: the Philadelphia Flower Show, missing my parents, and teenagers (plus a bonus gardener with a lovely British accent).
Beautiful! Next year, if you come to the flower show, let me know - if you’d like, I could meet you and we could people- watch and make little comments and you could tell me more about your mom. ❤️
So this hit me hard. Lost my Mom less than 4 months ago. The range of emotions is still super erratic. Likely, I am in a rookie phase. One thing that keeps coming up is that I instantly bond with other woman who recently have lost their Mom. Like instantly we
joined the same team. I bonded with the Girl on The Politics Girl Podcast when one day she just went off topic and talked about it.
Thanks for the Flower Show photos, have never been. 🌷🌻🌷
Oh, Dian--I'm so sorry you lost your mom. It is definitely an awful kind of club (one where the hazing to get in is the worst), and I completely understand that feeling of "you get it?!" (bonding with the politics girl is next level, though!). I don't know if you can empathize with this but I felt so untethered to anything afterward (you're right--the range of emotions is crazy) that it was just survival for a while, and I hate that you're going through this right now. What helped me was to start noticing things that felt like "her"--a CCR song on the radio, say, or a bluebird--and eventually those things kind of helped root me into the present, if that makes sense. 💙 to you. This sucks.
