Vloeien de tranen
Stromen de herinneringen
De herinneringen voor
De herinneringen na
De herinneringen als dochter
De herinneringen aan oma
De mooie reizen
De ongelofelijke avonturen
Groot en klein
Het gemis
De liefde
Dit stukje had ik vorige week geschreven in het Engels. Ik deel hem ongefilterd en onvertaald.
Today it is 2 weeks ago that my mother passed away. And it is remarkable that life for the ones left behind has a before and after.
Before my mom passed away, after my mom passed away. The same way my mom’s life had a before and after. The person she was before she got sick and the person she became after.
For me as only daughter I had the experience of a daughter before and a caretaker after. In the after times I always missed my mom as she was before and had a hard time with the person after.
I loved for her that she became a grandma and had the pleasure of watching her grandchildren grow up. The grandma she was after is the only grandma my children know. It is their before.
The best part of grieving with kids is that they show you that life matters. For my mom I’m happy that she can finally rest and find peace.
She joined her grandson somewhere.
My heart will always break for the grandma that my kids will miss. It will always break for the mom that she was.
Proud, thankful and so so grateful for the life lessons that remarkable woman taught me about life.
She will forever be missed.
