First Holiday Without My Darling Mum


It is here
that used to be
our joyous family holiday time of year
but this year
the excruciatingly painful first holiday
without my beautiful Mum
has dreadfully arrived

After I lost my dear Mum on 04 October 2022 so suddenly
when the very first holiday rolled around without her
just a couple months later was a total struggle for me
I felt her absence acutely and there was no joy to be found




The first holiday arrived whether I was emotionally ready or not
the thought of facing it brought many nights of tears
and a heavy feeling of dread and unbearable sadness
as I was still firmly in that dislocated and shocked state

That first holiday without my Mum was incredibly heartbreaking
after we spent so many together and she is no longer here
holidays that were once joyous and exciting for us
but that meaning of happy holidays had shifted forever


During that first holiday I felt overwhelmingly sad and weepy
I managed to wade through the deluge of raw grief
holidays without my daring Mum are just not the same
my holidays will never look and feel exactly the same again

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 "
