Nana was one of the most important people in my life, there for my entire life to this point. She gave me my big soft loving heart, she gave me my love of cooking and feeding those I love and she modeled the truest most honest sense of spirituality for me. I was so incredibly close with her and that just got better in the last couple of years. I got to feed her, sit with her and talk about life and death. Laugh and cry and just be together. What a gift!
Papa was the hardest working man I have ever known. He was a man of his word, never left anything unfinished and didn’t know the word quit. He was hard on me a child but softened in old age which was so beautiful to watch. He was there for Nana at every turn in the end, taking care of her so sweetly.
The grief is heavy. So much loss in just a matter of days is a lot to manage. But what trumps the sadness is the overwhelming gratitude and love I feel. The fact that I have had the time I have been granted to help take care of them, to in essence, to help guide them to death! I’ve been sober and present for this entire final chapter and I thank God every single day for all of it. Up to and including the end, the loss and the pain of saying goodbye. I will honor both of them for the rest of my life in so many different ways. I am so glad they are together again, that they weren’t apart long and that I was right here with my children and partner to the end. 🙏🏻💕
God is good all the time. ✨❤️💔
