“I'm very independent, but I didn't realize how much my mom was my center of gravity until she died. She had such a large presence in life; it's no wonder why her absence left such a large void. I had to learn to become my own center once she was gone.” MotherParentLossGrief Book:Healing After the Loss of Your Mother: A Grief & Comfort Manual Source: Healing After the Loss of Your Mother: A Grief & Comfort Manual
