that was the sky on the way down to see her one last time. she didn’t recognize me when I got there but I hope she knew I was by her side. #mother #motherloss #parentloss #grief
I never expected my mom’s death to lead to such drastic changes to my life and career trajectory; I’ve had to make decisions that I feel have aged me decades, but I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. For months my mom had been begging me to leave a job where I was being belittled and mistreated, and after her death I was ultimately forced to. I learned that the path to success isn’t linear, but the journey there shouldn’t be all pain.
