Thank you for posting this. I lost my mom in the same way, suddenly and out of the blue. Then I lost my dad a few years later after a year of cancer treatments that ultimately didn't work. There's no good way to experience that kind of loss.
People often say that it gets easier with time, but I don't think that's quite accurate. It doesn't really get easier, you just get better at living with how difficult it is. Mom passed 14 years ago, Dad was ten years ago, and I still have moments where I'll think of something about one of them and feel this overwhelming sorrow at the loss. But that sharp, hard pain that would accompany such thoughts in the early years has dulled quite a bit.
Happy Mother's Day to you and all the other Nostr moms out there. My wife and I spent the day making cookies for all the moms on our street. Here's yours... 🍪😉
