Well, it's been nearly a year since my mom passed away.It's line that i've seen before, and will see again i'm sure as our parents grow older and pass on.
I think death of a parent has a different meaning for everyone, but it has a deep effect on each of us. For those who've lost a parent, you know what i mean. For those who haven't. Brace yourselves.
It's ruff.
No matter what your relationship was like with you parents, they have a deep place in our lives, good or bad.
So for me one year later, it's a ending and a beginning.
It's the end of a horrible battle with her partner, and the beginning of a true healing period for me.
It's freedom, in a sense. Freedom from hurt and fear. A chance to begin anew, with hope and love for her, despite it all.
They say you never really get over the loss of a loved one. I think that's true. There is always a space there, that remains forever empty... it cannot be filled with something else, you can build up around it, but I don't think it can be replaced with something or someone else.
What do you think?

We learn to start new beginnings.
Yes.
For me I've had to restart them a
few times,for each loss.And each time
around I learn something new about myself
and life.And for all I've learned,I'm grateful.
You sound like you've got a good sense of
acceptance and self spirit.That's all part
of your new beginning..
