Grief is a powerful teacher, albeit a harsh one!
A Happy Place
In the wake of my Mum’s sad passing, my life feels like a relentless struggle
simple things that once brought joy now seem empty and devoid of meaning
A friend of mine asked me another day
“Furong, do you have a happy place”
I paused and thought for a moment
I then replied “I will let you know another time”
That simple question hit me hard and
it made me suddenly realising that
happiness and I abandoned each other
ever since the day my Mum departed from us
I met my new friend, my loyal companion
and my unwelcome bedfellow - “Grief”
as this new mate has been so intense
and following me intimately everywhere I go
I paused and thought of that question again
my happy place is every place or any place
where my darling Mum and I shared together
that is my answer and that is my “Happy Place”
I am a motherless daughter and an adult orphan, who loves passionately and grieves intensely, as I write and share about my personal grief journey with others, after I lost my darling Mum on 04 October 2022
to major stroke so suddely and so unexpectedly, with the hope that it might comfort, help and inspire people on their own journey.
"Mum, I carry your strength
with every step I take
on this new path "
