Losing a parent is a pain that is impossible to understand until you’ve gone thru it… and there are no words that comfort. As you said, “it’s cold in the shade, but when you are in the sun it’s beautiful.” The pain, like cloudy days, is temporary. It took me about 3 years. The sun will shine. You are both such beautiful humans. Thank you for taking us on your adventure. Peace and love to you both. 🙏💜🙏
Sending love and hugs to you during this time of loss. Sweet pictures of your mom, you, and your family. Brought back memories of my mom to see them. ♥️
I am so sorry. I was with my Mom in 2018 when she passed away and as hard as it was, it was an honor to be with her in the finals moments. Just found out my 38 year old son has metastatic lung cancer and has very little time. In Scottsdale, AZ with him and trying my best to help in with grace and dignity. When I first started watching your videos years ago I used a wheelchair and could not walk far. Now my daily morning 3 mile hikes are the one thing getting me through. There is nothing like being in nature and letting out all that grief. Thank you for encouraging me and so many others to “get outside”. I think of you both quite often on my early morning hikes. Take care and know you have a lot of supporters giving you virtual hugs. ❤️❤️❤️
Dear Wandering Women with whom so many of us feel deep connection, I thank you so much for sharing your grief as well as the love and admiration for Kristy's mom. All over the globe I believe we are in this together (sorrow, loss and joy,) supporting each other as our planet supports us. Thank you for modeling this interconnectedness. Peace sisters!
It is strange leading them down the path but then they’re gone. But being there to help them move on is a blessing. Hugs to you both. Gorgeous pics of your mama. You look like her.🙏❤️😊
Thank you for sharing about your mom. I lost mine this year too. It seems surreal most days. I think I'll spend some time hiking. You are an inspiration.
Hi Ladies, in an IG you mentioned she was fighter to the end. My mom was tiny and was seemingly laborious breathing fighting hard. My cousin, a respiratory therapist was with me and she explained the breathing can be a function in the process where it was numbing her out and she was much higher than a kite, feeling no pain. Just thought that might be helpful. My next door neighbor did this, too. I still think of her most days in a good way and especially when I make our signature breakfast. I also put a place setting on the table during the holidays. Here's a destination thought... I'm in Pucon, Chile ... ski town in their winter and outdoor adventures in summer. It's wonderful to have gone from colors of fall to spring in the southern hemisphere where the days are getting longer, roses are blooming and there's tons of hiking in Patagonia. I'm here for their Summer. Here and Bariloche, Argentina for the tourist visa stretch. I'm staying for at least a month in each rental. Love to you!
So sorry for your loss. What a Blessing, to be there to walk with her to heavens gate. I only have one parent left and she is in her 90s. I am still working through the loss of my husband 2 years ago, so I understand and will be praying for you. I pray you will find comfort and joy in your memories of your Mother. She will always live on in your heart. Please take care of yourself and each other as you walk your grief journey. Your videos have been a welcome escape during some of the hard times when I have been tied to homebase honoring my parents and late husband. Thank you. ❤🙏
I’m so sorry Kristy. I know the feeling went through it with my father in law. Their suffering is horrible 🙏🏻 for peace and love for you and your family ❤
May The Divine bring your heart stillness and peace as you navigate your grief. Your tribute to your Mother was tender ❤ She seemed like a beautiful soul❤ Blessed be to you and Annette❤
There is so much healing to receive in those CO mtns. It 2012 my first time on Pikes Peak that I received so much healing from my daughter’s passing two years prior and my father’s earlier that year. Hiking is beautiful therapy. Warm regards and have amazing time in Patagonia Chile! I went last December… so unbelievably beautiful!!
Sending love and hugs as you celebrate your beautiful Momma and do the hard work of grieving and moving on. i wish you both peace in the new year. Thank you for sharing with us and being real. We are with you.
I know exactly how that feels was with my parents as well you just feel helpless but you know they will be gone soon time goes slowly for them then she is at peace now no more suffering. Take care.❤
It's so painful losing someone you love. Big grief happens when you've loved someone so much....truly the definition of bittersweet. But then how very very fortunate are we to have been raised by such wonderful, strong, spectacular women? (I lost mine when I was 20) Sending you hugs & wishes for good, funny, sweet memories to over ride the pain of grief & sadness. Life goes on....but in a very very different way. ❤
My condolences to you and your family. I’m glad you were able to be with her to the end. What a gift for both of you! Last March I hiked the W trek in Torres del Paine National Park. It is stunningly beautiful. The wind is pretty incredible too! Be prepared! One of my tent poles got bent during a sleepless night as the wind battered my poor lightweight tent. If I did it again, I would rent one of their pre-set up tents. I can’t wait to see your videos! Enjoy! ❤❤
I loved the tribute to your Mom, Kristy. It made me cry thinking about my own Mom who has been gone many years now but at moments feels like just yesterday, especially at the holidays. It was unexpected so no chance to say goodbye. Anyway, I just wanted to say my heart aches for your loss and understand your feelings. Nature is the best medicine I know. Thinking of you both and sending healing thoughts your way. Miss you gals.
I am so sorry about your mom. As you know, there is nothing linear in the healing process. Sometimes one foot in front of the other is a gigantic accomplishment. Peace and healing and, eventually, joy.
What a beautiful and adorable momma you got to love and be loved by. Keep pressing on and nature will always wrap its arms around you and help the healing process. When I am in nature I am always reminded of cycles of life each creature experiences from the grass to the trees, animals, and of course us. It brings the sadness of loss but also the beauty of its peace rebirth, and purpose at the same time. Wishing you and Nettie great comfort and joy together as you go through this season of your lives. ❤
I send you a hug and courage. Be patient because grief takes time. Losing a mom is like losing a centerpole of the universe. You feel completely lost and floating in an ocean of sorrow. Just give yourself time. It does get better. Remember, the whole world has lost mothers and fathers and friends. You are not alone. She is always with you, within you, and now its your turn to be the Center. You had her for a long time. How lucky you are because of that!
While it is good to see you again I am sorry for your loss .I lost my Mom and my Husband a month apart.My husband died of Cancer and it was hard to watch him die so I understand .Prayers for healing for the whole family
Sorry for your loss. My mother also passed away from complications of lymphoma. Your experience was almost identical to mine. Time doesn't heal...you already know that from the loss of your sister, but we go on..step by step... mountain by mountain. Never stop climbing. Much love to you at this difficult time and THX for checking in with us all. Lee
Awwww such a sweet tribute to mom ❤ Glad you guys are getting outside and thinking ahead. It's so very hard to focus on stuff and to make plans, but I know you will find your way through this. You guys will be taking her with you everywhere you go, and I know that she is looking forward to the adventures. Sending Love and big bear hugs to you both 😘
I’m so sorry you lost your Mom. I’ve been there. Actually if I saw my Mom today the first thing I’d do is apologize for ever, ever thinking I had prepared myself for losing her. It’s just not something we as humans can prepare ourselves for. The only thing a person can really do is get used to it and accept the new normal. Much love from East Tennessee 🧡
Blessings to you both. It is such a mixed bag of emotions, quilt, grief, anger and the letting go takes so long until they land forever in your hear. I lost 2 sisters within a month of each other this year. Nancy and Pam my 2 oldest. We saw them thru into the hands of our Lord. Be strong, and lean on each other. Love you ladies❤ Merry Christmas!
There's never a good time to lose a mom, the one who brought you life. So sorry for your loss. May you treasure all the memories that bring you joy. And your fans will be here whenever you are ready to post and patient when you are not.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Lost my mother 20 years ago and my dad 7 years ago. It’s his birthday tomorrow. Earlier this week we had to let our beloved cat go due to lymphoma. So, I’ve been thinking a lot about grief this week. I read somewhere that grief is the price we pay for love. I think that is true and the thought has been comforting to me because no matter how much grief I feel, I would never trade the two. Wishing you peace.
Hugs and love to both of you, thank you for sharing an update as to how you're doing and allow yourself the time you need to turn inward, if that's what you need to do!
So sorry for your loss of your mom! I’m glad you could be with her and help her make that final journey. Even though you know she is in a better place it is hard to process the loss you are feeling. Getting out in Nature is one of the best ways to heal , but I don’t have to tell you that. Thanks for sharing that beautiful tribute to your mom! You look a lot like her Kristy. Happy holidays to you and Annette and hugs to you both!
We are doing well in Iowa. We own and operate an outside eatery in the town that I grew up in. Not sure if you guys knew that or not. We are hoping we have it sold. We've had some sadness too. Both Lynn's parents have passed and so did my dad. Our families have grown too. We have 3 great nieces and 1 great nephew. We keep tabs on you guys via this site. We head west now and again. We do miss it.
@LesaFinger Wow, a lot going on with all of you. We will have to find you out there somewhere. We miss you. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. So hard. Sending hugs.
Kristy, I am so sorry for your loss. My mom died 6 weeks ago, and oh my goodness, your words reflect exactly what I felt with my mom. Thank you for sharing your story, and for all of your and Annette's inspiring videos.
What a beautiful gift you have shared with us Kristy. The photos of your mom are so precious. It is never easy to say goodbye to a loved one but the memories you hold within will always bring a smile and the warmth of her loving touch to your heart when you least expect it. My sincerest condolences to you.
Kristy, I’ve been thinking about you. I lost my mom a few years ago, also in November. I know that feeling about be grateful for hospice and the longing for the suffering to end. And then comes the depth of the loss. I’m so sorry. Your momma is still with you. She will always be your and Annette’s trail angel. 💕
Sorry for your loss, words are never enough in these times, so heres a friendly /hug . I lost my daughter a year n half ago to liver failier , the little things that remind me of her still bring me to tears.
I’ve walked the same path with my late husband. Very rewarding and comforting experience. Your mother will always be with you. Love the family pictures.
I am sooo sorry for the loss of your beloved mom. I am in tears because I can relate to your huge loss. I’m glad you gals were with her during her last days. Please remember to breathe. Again, I am so sorry.
It’s so hard to move forward after such a major loss. No doubt she is rooting you on to your future adventures. A very moving tribute to your Mom. It moved me to my usual waterworks 😢. Peace ✌🏼 and love to you and your family. ❤
You will always remember those special things she did for you. That’s why god gave us memories. I was with my mom til she passed. I am so thankful for the years I had with her because I knew she truly loved me for all my faults n triumphs. God bless you n keep you safe.
I'm sorry for your loss. This time of year is even more difficult as it stirs so many memories. I was in Torres Del Paine last month. It is truly a gorgeous place. We even saw a Puma and her cubs. The guanacos are super cool and everywhere. You may even see condors. We saw many. Hopefully you get to travel south to Ushuaia and do some hikes and penguin watching from the tip of Argentina.
Kristy, i’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through. I lost my mom last year and I still grieve. That was a beautiful tribute to her at the end of this video. Thank you for sharing.❤❤🙏
I’m so sorry for the lose of your mom😢. I lost my mom on Christmas Eve 2021 suddenly. I was then dx with Leukemia later that year. I’m almost in remission🙏🙏. I’m just so sad for you but keep hiking and thank you for the amazing content❤❤❤
Your mom was beautiful…that picture of her on the slide looks just like you, Kristy…and looks like you two also had the same spirit and spunk. I lost my oldest brother in the spring, and it still is so fresh. Even though you know they aren’t in any pain anymore …not having them is hard. I find myself reading all our old text messages (i never delete any) …we alway ended with a “love ya”….and I always say “love ya” when i think of him. I still have both my parents, but they are very fragile health wise, and many times, i feel that the grieving has already started , and i have to remind myself to stay in the moment and soak up all i can…We sit often and just share memories and mom shares stories from long ago, and i soak it in, because i know she wont be there to share all the things that i still dont know, much longer.Our parents are our “home”…the place we can always go for unconditional love (i pray for those who dont have that in their lives) Keeping you both in my prayers
When I saw the title, I thought of how you had said your Mom had been sick, so before you even told us what happened, I feared the result. Maybe someone has already said this to you, but for what is is worth ... Grief is the price you pay for Love. Always, Ying and Yang. But know how proud she must have been to see what both you have accomplished. Thanks for adding the photos at the end. Loss is so Hard, but she would want you both to continue this wonderful life you have made for yourselves. Much Love, Sharon
My goodness am I glad to see you gals sorry to hear bout the passing of Mom it’s never easy losing a parent no matter how old you are Loved the tribute to Mom Happy Holidays Ladies
I’m so sorry about your mom’s passing. My mom died a year ago this month at 93 and I was with her at the end as well. I know how hard it is. Hold on to the memories; the hugs, the smiles, the laughter.
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures of your beautiful mom. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. The first holidays are the hardest but you know that already. Take care.
Losing a parent is a pain that is impossible to understand until you’ve gone thru it… and there are no words that comfort. As you said, “it’s cold in the shade, but when you are in the sun it’s beautiful.” The pain, like cloudy days, is temporary. It took me about 3 years. The sun will shine. You are both such beautiful humans. Thank you for taking us on your adventure. Peace and love to you both. 🙏💜🙏
Kristy, so sorry hearing about your mom. Love your story about Mom the trail angel. My Mom was my trail angel when I did the AT too. Miss her so much.
No matter how my logical mind prepared me for my Mom's passing, my heart struggled. Thinking of you both.... Peace and Blessings 🕊🌈🙏
Sending love and hugs to you during this time of loss.
Sweet pictures of your mom, you, and your family. Brought back memories of my mom to see them. ♥️

What a beautiful hike. Glad you’re out doing what you love. Thank you for sharing your sweet mom with us. ✌️❤🤗
Enjoyed the sweet pictures of your Mom!
O wow, nice pictures of your mom. That was a nice touch to the end of this post.

Thank you for sharing this with us. Your Mom sounds like she was quite an awesome person. So sorry for your loss. You share the same smile.
Nature is the best healer, I find. I’ve lost both parents …grief can be overwhelming. Wishing you peace and comfort. ❤

Thank you for sharing your sorrows as well as your joys. You guys are great.
It’s so hard to lose your mom. Praying for you both 🙏🏼🩷
It hurts so bad to lose our moms. But we keep on because that is what they would want us to do! Live your life and make her proud!!

Kristy and Annette. Have a Happy Holiday, sending prayers to you and your family on the loss of your Mother.
Beautiful Tribute!! Love and prayers coming your way. ❤
I am so sorry about your mom. As you know, there is nothing linear in the healing process. Sometimes one foot in front of the other is a gigantic accomplishment. Peace and healing and, eventually, joy.
Love the tribute, made me cry. Lost my mom 13 years ago and still miss her every single day ❤
What a moving tribute to your Mom, it made me cry. Sending Love and Light to you, beautiful ladies ❤
What a beautiful and adorable momma you got to love and be loved by. Keep pressing on and nature will always wrap its arms around you and help the healing process. When I am in nature I am always reminded of cycles of life each creature experiences from the grass to the trees, animals, and of course us.

Been there when my Mom passed away at 62. Its not easy, I understand. all ya can do is move forward and cherish the memories.
So sorry for your loss. Thank you both for helping me get through the pandemic through your videos.
Thinking of you both at this time and your family. Take care of each other. Your mom and you ,Kristi lol alike and I know she will be missed.
How sad and difficult. My thoughts are with you. I loved the pictures.
I send you a hug and courage. Be patient because grief takes time. Losing a mom is like losing a centerpole of the universe. You feel completely lost and floating in an ocean of sorrow.

Thank you, Lesa. How are you doing?
We are doing well in Iowa. We own and operate an outside eatery in the town that I grew up in. Not sure if you guys knew that or not. We are hoping we have it sold. We've had some sadness too. Both Lynn's parents have passed and so did my dad. Our families have grown too. We have 3 great nieces and 1 great nephew. We keep tabs on you guys via this site. We head west now and again. We do miss it.
@LesaFinger Wow, a lot going on with all of you. We will have to find you out there somewhere. We miss you. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. So hard. Sending hugs.

My condolences. It’s still hard to say goodbye to our Moms at any age.
Lovely tribute to your mom. Keep remembering the fun times with her - it helps. ❤
Kristy, I’ve been thinking about you. I lost my mom a few years ago, also in November. I know that feeling about be grateful for hospice and the longing for the suffering to end. And then comes the depth of the loss. I’m so sorry. Your momma is still with you. She will always be your and Annette’s trail angel. 💕
I try to remember that to have great loss, we had Great Love too. My heart goes out to you.
Just beautiful.
I'm so sorry for the monumental loss you have suffered. I hope you find some peace of mind soon. I know it's not easy. You're in my thoughts.
Sorry for your loss, words are never enough in these times, so heres a friendly /hug . I lost my daughter a year n half ago to liver failier , the little things that remind me of her still bring me to tears.
I’ve walked the same path with my late husband. Very rewarding and comforting experience. Your mother will always be with you. Love the family pictures.
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I understand your pain, I lost my sister about 8 weeks ago to cancer. Prayers ❤🙏
I'm sorry for the loss of your sister. Sending hugs to you.
I am sooo sorry for the loss of your beloved mom. I am in tears because I can relate to your huge loss. I’m glad you gals were with her during her last days. Please remember to breathe. Again, I am so sorry.
It’s so hard to move forward after such a major loss. No doubt she is rooting you on to your future adventures. A very moving tribute to your Mom. It moved me to my usual waterworks 😢. Peace ✌🏼 and love to you and your family. ❤
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. So thankful you have such wonderful memories of her. Ones that you will always cherish. Blessings.
You will always remember those special things she did for you. That’s why god gave us memories. I was with my mom til she passed. I am so thankful for the years I had with her because I knew she truly loved me for all my faults n triumphs. God bless you n keep you safe.

I'm sorry for your loss. This time of year is even more difficult as it stirs so many memories. I was in Torres Del Paine last month. It is truly a gorgeous place. We even saw a Puma and her cubs. The guanacos are super cool and everywhere. You may even see condors. We saw many. Hopefully you get to travel south to Ushuaia and do some hikes and penguin watching from the tip of Argentina.
Kristy, i’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through. I lost my mom last year and I still grieve. That was a beautiful tribute to her at the end of this video. Thank you for sharing.❤❤🙏
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom 😢 Sending hugs
My thoughts are with you. Such a difficult time to go through. You will make it through and always remember the good times. They are so precious.
I’m so sorry for the lose of your mom😢. I lost my mom on Christmas Eve 2021 suddenly. I was then dx with Leukemia later that year. I’m almost in remission🙏🙏. I’m just so sad for you but keep hiking and thank you for the amazing content❤❤❤
Sending love and hugs to you.
Your mom was beautiful…that picture of her on the slide looks just like you, Kristy…and looks like you two also had the same spirit and spunk. I lost my oldest brother in the spring, and it still is so fresh. Even though you know they aren’t in any pain anymore …not having them is hard. I find myself reading all our old text messages (i never delete any) …we alway ended with a “love ya”….and I always say “love ya” when i think of him. I still have both my parents, but they are very fragile health wise, and many times, i feel that the grieving has already started , and i have to remind myself to stay in the moment and soak up all i can…We sit often and just share memories and mom shares stories from long ago, and i soak it in, because i know she wont be there to share all the things that i still dont know, much longer.Our parents are our “home”…the place we can always go for unconditional love (i pray for those who dont have that in their lives) Keeping you both in my prayers
So sorry for the loss of your brother. Sending hugs.
When I saw the title, I thought of how you had said your Mom had been sick, so before you even told us what happened, I feared the result. Maybe someone has already said this to you, but for what is is worth ... Grief is the price you pay for Love. Always, Ying and Yang. But know how proud she must have been to see what both you have accomplished. Thanks for adding the photos at the end. Loss is so Hard, but she would want you both to continue this wonderful life you have made for yourselves. Much Love, Sharon
I can feel your mom's loving and happy spirit through the photos❤
It’s nice to see you both. I lost my parents a few years ago and completely understand that haze you’re in after for a while. (( hugs))
Sorry for your loss, nothing I could say would ease anyone’s mind after losing a loved one
so sorry, for both of you she looked like a lovely lady.

So sorry to hear about your mom. Grief is hard. What a beautiful picture tribute to her.
I’m so sorry about your mom’s passing. My mom died a year ago this month at 93 and I was with her at the end as well. I know how hard it is. Hold on to the memories; the hugs, the smiles, the laughter.
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures of your beautiful mom. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. The first holidays are the hardest but you know that already. Take care.
Beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing your mom with us!❤
