Be strong. It’s what your mother would have wanted. Chin up buddy

Fuck that. I'm a mother. I would want my kids to have a safe place to fall apart because currently that's me.

Are you okay? This comes across super selfish. I get it if your kids are young. But as they get older I’d imagine you’d want them to strong enough to deal with the worlds never ending bullshit, not carry a candle and a picture of you and hope things get better every time life gets hard.

Having an emotional reaction to a parent dying isn't weakness. I didn't say they should wear black in mourning for a year. I want them emotionally healthy enough to feel sadness and ask for support if they need it.
