'It took a conversation with my friend's mother, a therapist, to help me identify one of the things I needed in the weeks leading up to my mom's death: a pass,' marisareneelee writes in her new book for legacylitbooks.
, which I still wasn't letting myself do, I needed permission to be a sh*t friend. My moods were unpredictable, my mother's needs were unpredictable as a result of her illnesses, everything in my life felt gray and uncertain, and I needed people to know that I would be largely absent and unreliable. I needed folks to know I was not in a position to be my normal, reliable self.
If you're on this list, by now you've probably heard that my mom is not doing so well. I suppose that is putting it lightly as the most recent update I got from her doctor was six months to a year, and he said"maybe a year" only because she's so"resilient." I am super grateful for all of your calls, emails, invitations to go places, birthday wishes, etc.
And I realized that the help was already there, sometimes without asking; I just needed to accept it. Excerpted from"Grief Is Love" by Marisa Renee Lee. Copyright © 2022 by Marisa Renee Lee. Reprinted with permission of Legacy Lit. All rights reserved.
