Hey Plenteous, thanks for giving me some feedback in my blog. I'm glad you said something because most people I talk to (my family circle) not too many want to talk about death. You right, they do recoil and avoid the topic, and I do be left feeling empty.
So yeah, sometimes I feel out of sorts cause death is not a popular topic of discussion. I suppose I talk about death like I do because I see how its impacted my family unit. It bother me to see how the folk within my family have disconnected and I be looking for ways to keep us together. To me, death shouldn't mean a complete or total end, especially family.
I know why I'm feeling like so, April is my Muddear's birth month (RIP) and I really miss her presence, she really knew how to bring the family together and I miss that a lot!
Again, thank you for sharing your words and the memory of your mom. It's reflective and loving.
Thanks, Sis. I know exactly how you feel. My sister and brothers scattered when my mother died, both physically and emotionally and it was at a time when we all needed one another the most. Although I hear from them and sometimes even see them, I miss them and I really feel sad that my children not only don't have a grandmother but don't have aunts and uncles. Family is family and there's nothing like it. But there was so much unresolved sadness and emotion when she died. Sometimes running from death we lose sight of life, huh?
Thanks sis!
