“The summer that followed was a blur, as all early grief tends to be. I had several songs rolling around in my brain during that time and the main one that comes to me is this one - just playing on repeat.”
My Mom died after a 3 year battle (cliche word choice, but damn is it true) with cancer in May 2021, just 8 days after my 32 birthday.
The summer that followed was a blur, as all early grief tends to be. I had several songs rolling around in my brain during that time and the main one that comes to me is this one - just playing on repeat.
It's haunting - I was, I am haunted. She IS always on my mind (though differently these days than those early ones). I held space for myself in those 3 years she was sick - as I was also scared and grieving.
I know I did the best I could, but I hoped I would have done better... more. Just like Willie in this song.
Gosh, is she ever on my mind.
