It is hard to get there.

And that is partly why I wrote my book, because you have to acknowledge, it's okay to acknowledge the negative feelings.

I'm not like this positive and this like excited about Miss Higgy and where my mom is at every time, but it takes a while to get there and you're going to have the tears.

And on my drive homes or my drive there, I do cry.

I listen to my sad music or

You know, listen to your podcast, whatever you guys are talking about.

And I do cry and I grieve.

So there is the grief.

It's called ambiguous grief because they're still here.

But then you learn like, OK, this is where we're at.

And I can either miss I can be sad and upset all the time.

And I will miss beautiful moments with my mom.

And so if I let some of that go and my mom can still say randomly, she loves me.

She doesn't know exactly who I am, but she knows she loves me.

And so it is a gift to hear those words, to see her look at me and take my hand.

And so that is what we have right now.

And I'm grateful for it.

While I have also mourned and had a lot of losses.

Yeah.
