Today marks nine years since my mother died. In ways it feels like a lifetime ago, with all that has happened across the globe over the last several years. Mom picked a good time to depart as she would have hated to see so so much strife and rage in the world.
Yet I can still feel the raw emotions from the day of her passing. Grief isn’t a wound that heals but a new path in life you learn to navigate.

Love your last line. Grief certainly doesn’t go away, you merely “navigate” it. Hugs to you on this anniversary.
