Grieving Through the Holidays: Moving Forward into the New Year After Losing a Mom

“Someone did us all a grave injustice by implying that mourning has a distinct beginning, middle, and end.”

“When a mother dies, a daughter grieves. And then her life moves on. She does, thankfully, feel happiness again. But the missing her, the wanting her, the wishing she were still here – I will not lie to you, although you probably already know. That part never ends.”
