Some chapters are harder to close than others.
Last week, I said goodbye to my mom after her long journey with Alzheimer’s.
For years, being her daughter also meant being her caregiver. It was a chapter filled with love, responsibility, difficult decisions, exhaustion, and moments I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Now, for the first time in a long time, I’m figuring out what life looks like without that responsibility. And without her.
One thing I’ve learned is that life doesn’t always give us time to prepare for the next chapter. Sometimes we’re simply handed a new one and have to figure out how to turn the page.
If you’re caring for an aging parent, grieving someone you love, or navigating a season of change, I see you.
Not every chapter is easy. Not every chapter is one we would choose. But every chapter matters.
And sometimes, simply showing up is enough. 💞
