Grief is a powerful teacher, albeit a harsh one!
Being A Motherless Daughter
My darling Mum, I am now a daughter, motherless and torn
navigating life alone since the very moment you were mourned
I truly never understood what the word “motherless” was
until the moment we received that awful phone call at 1.07am
on Tuesday 04 October 2022, the worst moment of my entire life
and that horrendous day was undoubtedly the worst day of my life
I was suddenly and unexpectedly plunged into the unknown
as I was never prepared to face the world without my Mum
I was so not damn ready to be a motherless daughter
and I was never anticipated to journey through it so soon
I had never thought of being a motherless daughter
because I had absolutely no reason to fear her departure
she was healthy and active, and she was cheerful and playful
and she was present, always present, until she was not
I have been living the last few months as a motherless daughter
and navigating my journey through life without her is so hard
it has been exhausting to carry this heavy weight of grief
ever since I lost the most precious thing I have ever had
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 "
