First Full Moon Festival Without My Mum



No matter where we were in the world

we were all under the same moon, connected by love

today, I am feeling that connection more profoundly than ever

It is the second most important festival in Chinese culture
as this festival celebrates the fundamental concept of family reunion
when the Moon is the brightest and roundest on this day
but it is the first time without you, the ache in my heart is profound



The Full Moon Festival was always a special time in our family
you would meticulously prepare our favourite dishes
and we would gather together under the moon's glow to celebrate
It was a time of togetherness, and you were at the heart of it all

Tonight, when the full moon graces the sky, baths the world in its light
we will sit at the table and notice the empty chair, your chair
it will be another a stark reminder of your forever physical absence
and it is as if a piece of our family's tapestry has been unravelled



The Full Moon Festival feels incomplete without your loving presence
today, we will light candles in your favourite colour, a shade of purple
it is a simple yet poignant gesture, a new tradition to honour your memory
to symbolize your enduring presence in our hearts and in our family reunion

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

cherish the love that
we once shared "

A smile and a wave 
you were loved by all

 In the midst of mourning of

my darling Mum’s unexpected and sudden passing

I found comfort in the written word

the paper absorbed my tears and the pen

became the companion to my grief-stricken heart

the emotions, too overwhelming for spoken language

found refuge in the silent conversation between ink and paper "
