My Mother's dead. I don't know what to do. I'll never be able to hug

[Liberty Belle]

75. I'm so sorry. Do you have famliy close by or good friends?

Reach out to them and don't be afraid to ask for help when needed.

My Mom died a month ago, and even though she'd had dementia for 13 years and had no memory left, I still miss her every day.

Treasure the memories and be glad you had a loving mother -- so many people don't.

Reconnect with old friends and family members you haven't heard from in a while. I've reconnected with cousins I hadn't spoken with in years, found out some family history I didn't know about, and have an invitation to go visit one cousin out of state in the future.

Treat yourself to some escape from grief -- I loaded up my Kindle with books and spent hours reading in recent weeks.

If you're also the executor of your Mom's estate, there's another long list of hurdles and hassles to get through. I'm in process of clearing out Mom's house, a difficult and emotionally challenging job.

Take it one day at a time.

Hugs!
