Loss Brings Emotional Fragility

In 4 days time it is the anniversary of my dad’s passing….this week mum, who has done so well in overcoming her grief, gave us a scare. Mum passed out at a restaurant and we had to call an ambulance…she is OK now, still a little groggy but back home.
It made me realise how fragile we are, how fragile our strength is…suddenly my emotions went from feeling proud of her…to feeling scared that I would lose her. Isn’t that part of grief, these large swings 
in our emotional strength.
I know that instead of using that fear to worry, I want to use that fear I felt this week to ensure I cherish the time with my mum.
