I joined a volunteer list at the retirement community where Mom lived and today was my first day! I knew it might be difficult but wasn't prepared to be sitting at the exact table she ate her meals. I helped with a Bingo game and was assigned to help a little lady with dementia. I managed to help and cheer on my little lady but after the game was overwhelmed with sadness as I left the building and just broke down in tears. Oh Mom I miss you!
A lovely poignant shot. And remember that you went and helped some folk at the retirement community even if you were overwhelmed with sadness afterwards.
Beautiful shot. Maybe it is a little too early to be volunteering at the place your Mom lived and died. Eventually all your sad feelings will be put in their right boxes in your mind, but at present things are still a bit raw. Take time to heal first.
I lost my Dad 25 yrs ago (when I was 17) and it still hurts sometimes.
