I have no more words! - This is the best I can do!
What do you do when you check your WA rank and realised that you're in the top 100? Mixed feelings? Overjoy? Or pure excitement? Those were the exact emotional dilemma I faced yesterday!
At the exact time I was feeling a bit appreciated for the recognition of my active input in the community, the phone rang and I answered it with the joyful feeling of my recent discovery, but only to be greeted with heart racking sobs at the other end of the phone. My mom has finally passed away!
There were no words that escaped my lips as I heard those words, but only the joint sobbing of my sister and I tears as we mourned the loss of the beautiful, strong, independent woman that had raised all 5 of us. A very short phone call indeed as there was nothing more to be said for the moment.
Hope and Determination
Sitting in silence, silently sobbing my heart out, I pondered over the characteristic of the beautiful woman who gave birth to me so many years ago. This was a unique situation, but what would she do at a time like this?
Smiling wryly into the darkness of my thoughts, I got up, wiped my tears briefly and informed some dear friends and family of mine about her loss. For my mom, it would be for me to grieve privately with my family, ensure that all my children was going to be okay my encouraging them all to talk about it, and making them all know that it was okay to cry, it was okay to feel sad, and it was okay if things did not feel 'normal' for a very long time.
As for me, although I'm in the top 100, I am appreciating more and more the discovery of Wealthy Affiliates as I immerse myself immensely reading other members' blogs and giving my comments where and when I can. For sure, being in the top 100 will be a memory for a very long time to come!
In my last blog, I wrote about using the P.U.S.H. approach whenever I was in a sad situation, and I will be using it now. I do intend to make my mom proud in every way that she expected me to do and so
- I will carry on building my websites,
- I will continue to parent all my children to adhere to the moral, ethical and spiritual values that we presently live by.
- I will continue to ensure my continued success in 2021!
Until next time,
Simone

My condolences. It's good to accept death for it is something that happens sooner or later. You are a strong lady. I love you. Keep it up.
Also, I congratulate you upon making it to the top 100. You are an inspiration to us all. Press for still higher goals. All the best.
My sincere condolences to you Simone for the loss of your mum.
They never really leave though.
It is nearly 12 months to the day since my mum passed on and walking past a shop the other evening, I saw a lot of hand made dolls throughout the shop.
Something my artistic mother also made many of.
Michael.
Thank you Michael for those awesome kind words of comfort. I'm so happy they never leave us. I'm so comforted by those words.
Sad to hear this Simone, words can not describe how you feel. I am going to leave it at that. Your mom's memories will provide you with all you ever needed, her words of wisdom and why you cracked the 100 club and accomplished many other achievements. Congratulations! Your mom will always be in your heart.

This blog hit home more than anything I could have read today, I know I'm a day late, however I have to tell you I feel your pain and I understand where you are at.

So Sorry that you lost your dad Jacki. I know what you've been through. I know that it is early days but I'm not sure this pain will ever leave me. I miss her so much. Thank you for your warm words of encouragement. It is highly appreciated.
Big Hugs No the pain don't go away, however I don't remind myself to breath all day now. Just every now and then.
Thank you Jacki for your warm encouragement and well needed hugs. Highly appreciated.
