I realise Mother’s Day is difficult for many, and to those people I send my sympathies. Please be aware that today’s letter may not be for you. It’s from daughter to mother, written ten years after the latter’s death.
My friend Jan Zlotnick has written 23 Questions I Wish I Could Ask My Mom and Dad Today (https://amzn.to/2VG6ck5), which is unlike any self-help book on grief and loss. It's reflective and can be used as a guide to help talk to and explore memories with the people who are still with you.
For those whose parents are still alive, it's a gift to help capture some of those moments with them; if they're not, it's a chance to reflect on how they raised you and what you might be able to discern from thinking about these questions.
The loss of you lingers
A poignant note indeed.
