Fellow grief baby! My mom’s sister passed before I was born and my dad’s mom passed right before so my two middle names are after them. I get that it is a tribute to them, but lately I’ve been thinking about how I deeply identified with “keeping them alive” and filling that hole for family members, and how that doesn’t really seem right to me.
It’s potent to start reflecting in this way and it’s been on my mind lately too so I enjoyed this post. #validating 🙏🏼♥️
