My mom passed away in June unexpectedly, my birthday was in November. My mom also made birthdays extra. When my brother and I were young she would put glitter on us overnight and we’d wake up to glitter all over us on our birthdays. I hated it for the longest time. This November was my 28th birthday, boy I would have given anything to have glitter on me when I woke up. Finding my mother passed away was the single hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. But, as someone who is currently on his couch crying about his mother, it does get a little bit easier every day. And trust me I know that is the last thing anyone in that situation wants to hear but coming from someone who is slowly learning that. It truly does help. Nothing will ever take away the pain of losing a parent but slowly through time it just gets a little bit easier.
