Mom Suddenly Died

Ambiguous Grief

Last week in her sleep my mom suddenly passed away. My sister found her. It’s entirely shocking and obviously upsetting. She was a beacon in our kids lives, she was only 67 and seemingly healthy. Trying to make her slideshow now and instead I’m just watching season one of ER because we used to watch it, staring at photos and emailing people who used to know her to let her know.

The disbelief is unreal. That’s the part I am the most surprised about, the total disbelief. Is this a normal thing? Like, I literally do not believe it.
