It was recommended to me, not long after my mother-in-law passed away, that I should write to her in a journal every time I felt like talking to her.

The more I wrote in this journal, I realized there are so many other people who are in similar situations, who might relate to some of the things I’m feeling.

Grief is weird, some days you feel like you’re doing great and coping in a healthy manner, and one small thing can trigger the waves of grief to just come rolling back in. These letters will reflect those day to day moments where something triggers a reminder that she’s not here. I hope it serves as a reminder to tell those you love them each and every day, and that even after someone passes, you can still live FOR them and do things each day in their honor. 🦋
