Crying and grateful for this, Kate. Makes me know this country has a lot of love in it too, as we grieve all of the injustices we’re going through. Thank you for this. ❤️
Lost my Dad on New Years Eve this year, and I wonder "am I doing grief right?". I think of you often Kate because of how openly you talk about grief and model it for us. Thank you.
Myriam! I am so touched to get your message. Miss you much. I would love nothing more than to have a sleepover with the girls and to eat some of your famous potatoes.
This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing so openly. Also, mint naturally dies back in winter and regrows in spring. Which means your doing it right. Sending you so much love.
Kate, this piece is gold. You ARE a blessing from God and I honestly think that message from that single mom w the body wash came from your own mom so you know how treasured you are…the signs of her love for you are everywhere…in the mint, in your children, in your eyes. Growth and time does not kill grief it only establishes it deeper into the soil. It’s part of you/us. You are so loved.
This was just beautiful. There are so many grief metaphors out there, but I haven't heard the weed one before — what a great way to put it! Sending you love as you remember your mom. xo
I feel this every day. Such love and happiness that I had a wonderful mother, and great sadness that she passed too early. It’ll be 8 years in October and my oldest is graduating from high school this year. She was 10 when her grandmother passed away and oh how I wish I had my mom to get through these teenage years and now this next phase. The grief is palpable some days, and others it is a glimmer that forever reminds me of her unconditional love that continues long after she is gone. Thank you, Kate for your continued words of Hope and wisdom. I’ve referred to your book often (The Dead Moms Club) as I’ve navigated these last 8 years. Sending love-

I'm so sorry Mollie. You are doing it all right. Sending you love.
As someone who just lost her mom two weeks ago, this was really lovely and healing to read. Thank you.
Sending you so much love. It is really, really hard. I see you. xo
This was beautiful Kate! Look at your mom-so lovely!! xo
A total babe!

This is beautiful, Kate. Sending you, your mint, and your community lots of love and support.
Thank you Danielle! xo
Kate your writing is so uplifting even when the subject is grief.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a reunion of the"group?"
I have happy memories of the sleepovers.

Thanks Katie! I owe it all to the mint 🤣❤️
This was a beautiful piece, and so true.
Kate, that picture of your mom is so joyful, it made me weep. And yes, grief is the price of love. Thank you for this beautiful and heartfelt piece.
