I miss her already.

How can I describe my mother?
She was loving, tender, sensitive, caring, compassionate, smart, intuitive, witty and sarcastic...
she was a willing listener, an avid wisdom giver, and a champion for the underdog...
she was a beautiful woman, an endearing mother and a faithful wife...
she was a smile to strangers, a friend to many, and invaluable to those that knew her.
She was, and always will be, my hero.
The phone call telling me that she is gone leaves me in as much of a fog as the gray, misty fall morning. And a piece of me died with her.
What am I going to do without my Mom?
Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out...
I miss her already. More than I could ever say.

Wishing you peace and the ability to get out of bed each day, and the space and time to grieve as you must do.

I am including a conversation from Grey's Anatomy TV show. It is dealing with a death of a dad but it is sooooo true of mothers, too, especially for us women when we lose our blessed, beloved mothers.
I lost my mother 30 years ago and I still miss her.
You know, your mother is looking at the face of Love today! That knowledge can help in the midst of the sudden vortex of grief and confusion.
I am praying for you, all day long and for the next many days.

CRISTINA: "There's a club. The Dead Dads Club. And you can't be in it until you're in it. You can try to understand, you can sympathize. But until you feel that loss... My dad died when I was nine. George, I'm really sorry you had to join the club."
GEORGE: "I... I don't know how to exist in a world where my dad doesn't."
CRISTINA: "Yeah, that never really changes."
I love you.
Sincere love and friendship, MJ-Ona Journey

It feels unusual when I wear it and I notice it all the time. Everytime I notice it on my finger, I pray for that person.
I am wearing my Prayer Ring for you, my friend.

I will be remembering you this Shabbat as we recite Kaddish in our congregation. May you move into a place of true and absolute shalom.
