Recent passing of my mother

So sorry for the loss of your Mom. Many times our loved ones wait until we leave to pass. Maybe to spare us? My husband passed in August 2024. I made a list of ways to honor his memory and have been doing them since. He was a veteran so I had a wreath placed on his grave for the holidays. I donate to the Alzheimer’s Association, and to veterans organizations on his birthday. I call and check on one of his buddies who has cancer. I attended the reunion of his unit. The spouses attended and there were three of us there who have lost our spouses. We helped each other. Think about what was important to your Mom and make a list. Was she an animal lover? Did she have charities where you could volunteer? I continue to post on the online forum here to try to help others who have a loved one recently diagnosed and are just starting on this heartbreaking journey. My wise Mom told me one time if you lose someone you love don’t stop eating their favorite pie, eat a piece for them. Go to the places and do the things they loved. Do the things they loved to honor them. My thought and prayers are with you. Hugs. 💜
