Picking out an outfit never felt so heavy. Today, I get ready to say goodbye to the most incredible woman I know, my mom. My heart aches, but I want to honor her memory by feeling strong and beautiful, just like she always made me feel. She wouldn't want tears to be the only memory, so I'll remember all the laughter, the wisdom, and the fierce love she showered me with. This makeup isn't to hide the pain, but a way to show the world the strength she instilled in me. #funeral #grwm #grievingjourney #griefjourney #griefandloss #losingamom #losingaparent
