I'm so happy you enjoyed a really special place with your family. You will always be a Mother of 3. Death can't ever take that away from you. God chose you for Libby.
What a brilliant way to process your grief! Writing the person as a character!!!!! I can imagine it wouldn’t work for everyone but Brooke! This could be a new form of therapy. I don’t want to speak out of appropriateness - but Libby must be so proud. ❤❤❤
First Mother’s Day in this new life of loss and grief here. Mother’s Day is such a manmade event, and that realization made it so much less horrible today. Everyday was Mother’s Day for us in the true spirit of the meaning of the day with a daily focus in life on love, honor, togetherness, kindness and joy .... and, for that, I am so thankful now that that’s changed. I wasn’t sure what I was about to walk into today since I’ve never been here before but today really wasn’t awful at all. So so grateful for that . Happy Mother’s Day.
Thank you so much for letting us know how you’re doing and for sharing how you spent this Mother’s Day. So glad you had a pleasant and loving, time with your boys and that you were able to do what you enjoy. Blessings to you, Brooke, and may the peace of The Lord be yours.
That was so beautiful sharing your day and family with us! We had our Mother’s Day yesterday (Australia ) 4 th Mother’s Day without my precious son.😢 I also have have 2 adult children left,2 grandchildren. We went out for Vietnamese lunch then came back to my house for dessert,my husband made his signature dish French crepes,delicious and we hung out together all day. It was sad for me that my 2 year old granddaughter didn’t get to meet her loving uncle Chris,he would have loved her so much. She’s really a God sent,it’s hard being sad for long when she’s around as she makes all of us so happy. But of cause when it’s all quiet I do retreat into my room to grieve my son. It’s always hard when you see something or someone that triggers you as you get reminded of your precious daughter. I’m like you as I love little quirky towns and little shops with unique stuff. Glad you were surrounded with your loved ones. I think I will always have my heart with my living kids but part of it is with the one that isn’t there as well. Sending hugs to you Brooke. ❤️❤️ Natalie
Thank you, Natalie... I'm glad you were able to enjoy the special time with your family, but there's always that hole where the other child is missing. ❤️
My daughter and I celebrated not on Mother’s Day ,we got Chinese food, watched Barbie show and stayed over night a great Mother’s Day . And 5 days later having my son forever25 the day he died on 17th 😢
Little House was my favorite, too!! I am from PGH and it used to be PA paid a great pension for retired teachers…..SO, maybe you will get to retire (while you are still relatively young) and write full-time.
It's hard for me to believe she's not there with you on some level. I don't know what your belief is but she could have been with you and no she wouldn't want you unhappy, she'd want you to be happy and do great. Death is not the end, it's Mr belief true but I think I'm right. If you experience these things like you describe concerning Libby there's a huge chance she's there at that moment. Don't discount your own senses and don't discount her ability even now. No it doesn't heal the hurt or change anything but it does change everything on some level. Yes to feeling the loss 😭
I know your family isn't religious, but it's just truth that Libby is with you in all the good and the emotional times.

Aww, thank you so much! I know she would have loved the idea of being a character. It has definitely been a form of therapy. ❤️
Happy Mother’s Day brooke

Apart from God's Strength, you and David gave Libby the tools to live the character traits. You both did amazing.

That's my goal! Finishing my 23rd year this year!

I laughed when I saw this because I literally didn't do a thing to my hair today and just put it back in clips and gave up. So thank you!
