“How’s Your Mom…”
Seeing people who didn’t know your mom died is the scariest thing. They ask kindly “hows your mom” and I have to tell them she passed away. And all that pain comes rushing back. My heart starts pounding, my legs go weak. To make it worse it’s always while I’m working and I have to ring up groceries and go on like everything okay.
