. Grief I had my own notions of grief. I thought it was a sad time that followed the death of someone you love and you had to push through it to get to the other side. But I'm learning There is no other side, There is no pushing through, But rather, there is Absorption. Acceptance. Grief is not something you complete, but rather you endure. Grief is not a task to finish, and move on. But an element of yourself, An alteration of being, A new way of seeing, A new definition of self. - Gwen Flowers Dec 29 2014 9 years = 3 287 days = 78 840 hours = 4 733 640 minutes = 283 824 000 seconds = Since I have heard that laugh 💔🤍 oh how the pictures have changed over the years !

Day 59 This is the holiday card I received from the eldest. His written message was witty, sweet and reassuring. And the words were very tiny. I had to grab my readers. He left today to return to Austin. It was a hard goodbye for this momma but I continue to be buoyed by his maturity and his desire to be a really, really good human. #lovemyboy #hesoneofthegoodones #misshimalways #100dayproject

The birthday boy, living his best life 😍😍. #misshimalways
I remember when he was giving me a hard time about pictures and I said “hey, someday this is all I’ll have” so he obliged… I had no idea, then, that this would be our last Thanksgiving together. I have so much to be thankful for. I have so many of you to be thankful for. And I truly am. The point is.. take the pictures, make the memories, share the squeezeys and love hard. #thankful #misshimalways #eatpotoatoes

The Fahj would’ve been 67 today and we spent it exploring Cat Fest in Denver and snagging lunch with some of our faves, Grant and Lyv (we missed you Michelle and Trey!) Happy Birthday Fahj, we miss you so much! 🥳🥺🩵 #heavenlybirthdays #misshimalways #daddysgirl #lifeisbetterwiththem #catladylife
Got to have dinner with my big brother yesterday. I always enjoy getting to see him even if it is just for a short time. 🩵🩵 #mybigbrother #brothersister #misshimalways #enjoytreasuredmoments
While I definitely spent the day deep in work, I couldn’t let it go by without acknowledgment. Admittedly, every year is different and I never know what quite to expect. I had noticed I’ve been a little more emotional lately without being able to peg it until last night. One funny thing about our relationship was that when I’d have these overly emotional moments, he always seemed to know why, way before I ever did. He’d always talk me through it and reassure me that he was always there no matter what I was going through. The hard part is that he’s not. And I still don’t know what to do with that sometimes… I wish there was some line of communication that he could answer my questions. I know I’m 40 but I could still use his guidance at times, or his validation. I dunno. What I do know is that our bond was rare and special. I know that I was the luckiest daughter and that if he had it his way, he never would’ve left. 6 years. Six. 💔 #misshimalways #daddysgirl

Six months ago I went to sleep beside this man and woke up without him. It has been the longest six months of my life. I don't know how but with God's help I will begin anew. What years may come will come. #lovehimforever #misshimalways 💔

One thing you don’t think about with grief are the acts of service love language piece. While I’ve come a long way in my healing from the loss of the Fahjah, this one piece in particular still breaks me down pretty good. He was the man that could do it all. The one I turned to, not just when things broke but when I broke too. So, when things break now.. the logical part of me panics, I cry a little, vent to someone (usually) and try to figure it out. Somehow fixing some lights on the Jeep seemed super daunting, despite the seemingly easy video I found on YouTube. Now that it’s complete, I feel proud, but it definitely took moments of frustration to get there. I guess all of this to say… while unintentionally taking things for granted happens, being grateful is really where it’s at 💙 #misshimalways #daddysgirl #stillhealing
Today the 1st & greatest love of my life would be 95. Happy Heavenly birthday Dad. I love & miss you more than words can express. ❤️💕😇😘 #heavenlybirthday #loveyoudad #misshimalways #95yearsold #deepestlove #iwillalwaysloveyou

As most know this is our first Christmas without dad. I made these pillows for my daughter, sister and nieces from his favorite flannel shirts. #hugsfromheaven #misshimalways #family #pugpossessed #punchbugpug
Not gonna lie, it’s definitely seemed a bit harder to get into the holiday spirit this year.. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been 5 years without the Fahjah, some other things weighing on the heart or a combo. In case it’s not fully there for you either, I’m proud of the effort you’re making too! #inittogether #proudofyou #misshimalways #makethosememories
32 years ago, right about now, my foundation crumbled & the person on whose shoulders I built my life transitioned to the other world, leaving a gap in my life nothing and no one could ever fill. May Allah bless your soul Abbu, and raise your darjaat. #LifeLoss #deathofaparent #vaccum #MissHimAlways
Got news today so made this Tribute to the best dog and oldest dog that lived Always smiling. Plus the only dog that Fred really liked. Sir Arthur the prince. Forever and always❤️🐾 . He was 16 years old when he passed Here’s some memories of him from dog sitting days. My lil Pom Pom buddy. #misshimalways #cutestdog #specialdogsneedlove2 #pomeranianworld
#throwback to my English days - it’s hard to believe this was 10 years ago, but here we are - Petey will always hold a special place for me. He was the first horse I really got to train up and he really showed me what it means to be a great partner - he always gave 100% of himself and always tried what was asked of him, no matter what. Last I heard he was still teaching kids the ropes - I’m so happy I got to be a part of his story and that he was apart of mine ❤️ 🐴 #Peteythepolisharabian #bestboy #sorrelponypower #misshimalways
This pic... such a bittersweet memory! 🥺🥰🥺🥰🥺🥰 My sister Margie's Sweet Sixteen party. All 5 of us (siblings) are in it with our parents. The older we got, the less pics we had where we were all together. Especially with our brother Richie... #FamilyIsEverything #LookAtHisSmile #MissHimAlways
Happy 66th (5th heavenly) birthday Fah-jah. As much as I miss your laugh, your sass, your love and so much more, I’m truly grateful that I got to be your daughter. I’m truly grateful you were my person and I was yours. 34 years wasn’t long enough but some don’t even get that, so I am grateful. Not a day goes by… #misshimalways #daddysgirl #myperson #besties

Grief is a fickle bitch; let’s tell it like it is. With the 5 year anniversary of my person’s passing in the upcoming weeks, i find it constantly looming over my head and subconsciously finding any excuse to not have down time to think about it but the universe is helping with that ha. I’m tired but it is what it is. Today I couldn’t avoid it. Today, I had to go to a place I’ve actively avoided for 5 years because even the thought of it had me in tears. A place that I’ve been told to get over it, but IT is not something you get over. While it wasn’t for anything bad and I actually handled it way better than I thought I would (I thank my therapist Kaitlin for that ha) I find myself crumbling now. Replaying the worst day of my life like the sledgehammer it was. I have many things to be grateful for, and I truly am. But sometimes I still hurt real bad. Sometimes I get mad and still don’t understand why; why he couldn’t be here today or why I couldn’t have more time. That’s not to say I don’t think about him every day but when it hits, it hits. I guess all this to say.. it’s okay to grieve and get through each day however you need too. I couldn’t have gone there any sooner but I guess I’m stronger now? And also to remind everyone to love your people hard, so very damn hard. #misshimalways #daddysgirl #thatficklebitch
Today we lost one of the loves of our lives. This was completely unexpected. Brody was the best boy. He was the sweetest, loving boy who had the best nubbin. He was the sweetest big brother to his other cat and dog brothers and sisters. He was my woofie. No one shook their toosh like Brody did. I will miss him forever. A piece of my heart went with him today. #Brody #thebestboy #misshimalways #brokenheart

Gone way too soon 😢 And the passage of time doesn’t make it any easier, especially on days like today. Thinking of our Dad on Father's Day. 💙 Every day I think of him and every day I miss him, and every day I think about how much Manu, Emilia, Nico, Georgie and Henry would have loved him, and how much he would have enjoyed them. Until we see each other again, I will keep his memory alive for our kids and in a small way, they'll get to know him too 🙂
I miss you today & everyday. Happy Father's Day. #FathersDay #MyDad #MissHimAlways

A month from now we will be back in Canada and able to visit Josh's grave in person. It's never been my favourite place but it is a place of connection and remembering and I do recognize it's value as a place of honouring his life and talking about him with his nephews and niece. Love him so much and miss him every single day #joshuamichaelturner #bornonthefourthofjuly #remembering #misshimalways #wouldhavebeen43yearsold #beengoneforalmost20years

Two years have passed since I last heard your voice in person or physically felt your presence. There have been so many things I have wanted to share with you, but it helps talking to you, it helps seeing you in certain situations when I know it couldn't be anything or anyone other than you watching out for me. I will never not miss you, Dadda, but I will always keep your spirit with me. #TonyG #thehappywanderer #misshimalways

Today is the 2-year anniversary of Toby’s passing. It was such a horrible, sudden event that is seared into my memory. But seared into my heart are all the memories and love of this wonderful pup.

There is a lot to be thankful for and boy am I… life’s necessities, fur babies, incredible friends/family and a job I love. Live music filling my soul. Especially lucky to have had another year with gram AND her mashed potatoes lol. My belly is full but not as much as my heart. I’m very grateful. #lifeisbetterwiththem #misshimalways #gratefulheart #rubyskitchen

Lest We Forget... On November 11th this year I again proudly remember my paternal Grandfather - GNR William Frederick BROOM of “D” Platoon, 4th Canadian Armoured Brigade Company, R.C.A.S.C. He proudly served overseas & returned. Awarded 39-45 Star, France & Germany Star & the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal & Clasp. He never spoke of his time overseas but I will continue to be doing my best to learn of his service and actions during WWII. That’s him 2nd from the left in the front row. #lestweforget🌹 #lestweforget🌺 #supportourveterans #supportourtroops #supportourmilitary #canadianforces #worldwar2 #proudofmygrandfather #proudofmygrandfatherspartinhistory #misshimalways
