"When She Was Here"
How specific your mother's role was, that you didn't just lose a person but a version of yourself, and why her presence shaped you so deeply.
"How It Still Shows Up Now"
That grief doesn't fade the way people expect, how her absence gets woven into your identity, and that this ongoing presence reflects how much she mattered.
"How You Carry Her Forward"
The ways she's still part of how you live, choose, and love, and that it's possible to integrate this loss without having to be "over it."
