Inspire Me Monday
Welcome to Inspire Me Monday, so happy to have you here! I hope everyone had a beautiful mother’s day weekend and for those who have lost I’m sending you all the love in the world.
Sunday was a year since we lost my beautiful mom. It was a hard day and a hard week leading up. So many emotions, and so much pain but I have realized the only way through grief is to feel your way through it. Someday It will get easier but for now it’s still so raw. Her death affected me in ways I couldn’t have imagined, I know in time my mind will heal. I haven’t shared much about her passing because there was so much suffering on her end and it is something I just can’t move past. So for now I’m gratful that she is no longer suffering and I know in time things will get easier. Ray and the boys spoiled me all day after we visted her and I am forever gratful to be a mother to the most amazing 3 boys in this world.

Praying for you, Kristin. Such a hard week I’m sure. You’ve honored her well this last year. Take care and sending a hug. Debra
Thank you so much Debra! ox
I’m sure it’s been hard but I just know she can feel you thinking about her. Sending hugs. – Shelley
Thank you so much Shelley xo
Oh Kristin it’s so hard! I lost my mom at a young age & yes, it’s a void that can never be replaced. You’re in my thoughts. Becoming a mom & having my own kiddos to celebrate has helped me. I’m glad your tribe showered you with the love you deserve. Thanks for the party & the feature. Have a magnificent week. XO- MaryJo
I’m so sorry about losing your mom at a young age, it’s so hard. Having my family with me really helps so much. Sending lots of love your way.
Thanks so much for the feature Kristin. I’m glad you had the support of your beautiful family on Mother’s Day. Being a mum is the best and hardest job in the world, but being a mum is definitely a blessing. 🙂 Julie
Thank you so much Julie, I appreciate your kind words. Happy mother’s day to you!
I’m sorry for your loss Kristen. I’m glad you were surrounded by your guys yesterday. Big hugs.
Thank you so much Marie. xo
Kristin, I’m glad your boys were there for you on Mother’s Day. It’s a profound loss, and grief takes time. It’s a journey, and the path is not a smooth one. Take care of yourself. Sending you hugs of comfort.
Thank you so much, Sarah, I appreciate you!
Continued prayers, my friend. You know I understand to a certain point. Feel free to chat me anytime. And would love to get together for coffee someday soon! Big hugs!
Thank you so much, Julie, thinking of you during your transition. Would love to meet up xo
What a blessing to be surrounded by your boys and the love they bring on such a tough anniversary! I am keeping you in my prayers Kristin as you navigate your way through your grief. Thinking of you and wishing you peace in the months ahead!
Mother’s Day is bittersweet for me too. I still miss my mom so much, but I’m so incredibly lucky I get to spend it with my daughter. Big hugs to you!
What a wonderful gift that your family surrounded you with love and support knowing how especially difficult this Mother’s Day was for you. It was our fourth Mother’s Day without Mom and will always be a bittersweet day but it does get easier with time. Kristin, I’m thrilled to see my spindle wind chimes featured this week, thank you! xo
Thank you Marie, I am sorry about the passing of your mom, I know in time it will get easier. You have been so supportive this past year, thank you.
