Tattoo dedicated to my late Mother

The Lavender Tulip is my Mother's favorite flower, and the words on the scrolls are from our favorite church song "I have loved you with an everlasting love".

I had this tattoo facing me instead of away, as a constant reminder of my Mother's love as well as mine for her.

Adapting

It has been about 3 weeks since my Mother passed. It is still hard to get through every day, but it's a bit easier. I still miss her everyday.

Nightmares

I have been having thoughts and nightmares regarding my Mother's last few hours before her passing. It saddens me constantly when I relive it, anyone have any ideas on how to deal with these thoughts?

Mom is coming home

We are able to pick up my Mother's ashes tomorrow. It's a weird feeling knowing my mom will be with us albeit in an urn. I'm very happy that she is coming home. I will continue my tradition of saying good morning, talking about my plans, as well as saying good night and giving her a kiss. 

Ashes to Ashes

My mother's cremation is tomorrow. Today I and my family were able to see her one last time. I am at a loss for words and thoughts on how I feel about it. I know that my mother's body is just a shell now but never being able to feel her warmth and touch is something I will always miss. I have never been ashamed to have held my mother's hand, whether in public or at home. I will truly miss that feeling of a mother's touch.
