It is with deeply profound sadness that I share the passing of my Mommy. I am devastated, and confused. Nothing is making sense. My twin, fr 😞

Grief requires us to be okay with not having solutions. It wants us to be present with the pain and many ppl are uncomfortable with holding the messiness.
Years of education, yet no one taught us how to console a grieving friend or what to say when someone we love is at their lowest.

I'm not/this is not okay. So many discrepancies. Much mishandling. I'm appalled that my Mother's life was a consequence. I have no recourse for this pain. It readily transmutes into anger, but I gotta stay focused. I'm the big sis/new matriarch. I'll fall apart when she returns.

Things are opening up, moving slowly. But we are moving. We got the plot, funeral home and event space. Same plot/cemetery and funeral home we used over 20 years ago for my Grandma and sister, Joyce. Looking at dropping a salary, smh. $45k. I can't even fathom...

Unfortunately the adults are not ok, so the children are not ok. The adults don’t value kindness, so the children don’t value kindness. Every bully I’ve seen over the years has a mean ass parent. Schools/teachers have limited options when dealing with bullies.

The increase in public aggression and disdain for children is not normal nor is it random It is fascism teaching us to kill our future in our hearts and minds Once you accept that even children can be discarded, there is no human you won’t discard

When I worked in a pediatric hospital for inpatient behavioral health, I had many patients who were young girls and teens who had been sex trafficked by their own parents, who thought that since they birthed the girls they could determine how the girls were touched.
Explaining to my very non-snuggly little daughter that I grew her & let her live inside my body for almost a year for the express purpose of being able to have a nice cuddle once in a while, so she doesn’t have a choice in the matter

Shared this earlier with friends: I have been uprooted. I will never know solid ground. My Mother is dead. My birthplace.

Only in your death will people give you money that you needed while alive
When I first donated to Javits gofundme it was around 19k, now it’s over 550k. No amount of money can make this right but at least it’s one less thing for the family to worry about.
