I just finished listening to the episode about Justin and his mom Melody. I connected with that on so many levels. First, I am a mom of a son. He always writes in his cards to me “You and I against the world “!! His dad, my late husband passed when my son was 32. Yes, he was a full grown man, but my husband’s death changed both of us. We were always close. I didn’t believe that mother/son bond could get much stronger. But it did.
I would jump at the chance to connect with my husband AND my own mother who passed in 2020. To Justin: how proud your mother is of you. I use the present tense because, you feel her with you. And really, that’s all that matters! Sending hugs!
On a side note: you’re right Justin. Grief never makes you feel better. It’s just a spiraling 🌀 circle that hits at unexpected times. God speed!
