Kumiko Love Instagram – This was a hard weekly recap to share, but it’s the truth. I have been struggling a lot lately with grief and guilt. I think these two emotions are very common yet not talked about enough. For Easter, my family visited the farm for the first time since my mom passed, and I have no words to describe the pain I felt from the very second we left the house.’ I was making a drive that I have made a thousand times in my life, but this time, my mom would not be there. It felt unfamiliar, sad, and downright impossible. I know I will never stop grieving my mom, but I am still very much in pain, and it hasn’t gotten easier. I still text her every day, listen to her voice messages on repeat, and wake up hoping it was just a nightmare. I wish I could say my life is all rainbows and sprinkles, but it’s not. I wake up and tell myself I am going to do the best I can and, most importantly, be the person my mom would be proud of. That’s all you can do. That’s enough. Thank you for allowing me to share this journey with you. What are some struggles you had this week? #thebudgetmom #weeklyrecap #griefjourney #lifeupdate #financialjourney #tbmfamily #iloveyoumom
