I couldnt read this without crying. My heart breaks at every word that you wrote because I lost my mother too on the 2nd of september, 2021 just 3 months after i turned 26. All of this hit too close to home and you have put so eloquently in words what i had bottled in my heart for more than a year.

Thank you for reading Kamakshi ♥️ I don’t write often these days. I find it really exhausting actually. But when I do, it is after I’ve bottled up all my emotions and they need to find an escape.

Remember, your mother wouldn’t want you hanging around in pain and suffering. She would want you free and growing and shining. Keep her close.

Ride with the waves for now. The storm with pass soon ♥️

This is the closest I can come to feeling how you feel. Through your memories and the helplessness of not being able to create more with Mother.

I lost my mom 3 months ago suddenly and unexpectedly. She was only 58. I could relate to each and every word you have written. I am struggling every day just like you are. This pain will never end. Thanks for the article!
