The past two weeks have honestly felt like a blur. I can’t say I remember too much of last week, but that was probably from the exhaustion and brain fog I was experiencing. Actually…. I’m still experiencing the fog. Everyday brings a new set emotions. One minute it doesn’t feel real and the next I am sobbing in my car on lunch. Grief is a roller coaster and I’m not a fan of roller coasters.
This week we have been preparing for Mom’s celebration of life. It’s strangely therapeutic to look through photos and go through her favorite clothes which still smell like her. Each item holds a specific memory or moment. Many of those moments now frozen in time. Today we picked out her box. Yes. A box. We wanted something that could be personalized. We wanted her forever surrounded with love and messages from her family and friends. So when you come to her celebration of life, you won’t see a guest book. You’ll find her box. Where you can write messages, leave your name or whatever you feel led to do.
We are looking forward to celebrating the life of Christine L. Williams. We hope you are as well.
