Today is my late mother’s 94th birthday. As I reflect on this special day, I find myself thinking about all the wonderful times we shared and the wisdom she imparted to me. Instead of feeling sad, I can’t help but smile. My mother’s influence has taught me how to handle difficult situations, and with each step I take, I feel blessed.
Even though she is no longer with me, I feel her presence spiritually, and her sweet perfume seems to linger in the air of my home. Her memory brings me peace, and in honor of her special day, I have quit smoking after 45 years, something I always promised her I would do.
Next month, on August 22nd, it will be both my birthday and the anniversary of her celebration of life. Each year, this day holds significant meaning for me.
Losing a loved one can be incredibly difficult, and it’s okay to struggle in the healing process. If you’re going through a similar experience, know that you’re not alone, and I welcome you to join me on my healing journey.
Litghing a candle is therapeutic to help you deal with trauma and stress.
