I enjoyed reading your thoughtful post. I agree about being able to contain the idea of mortality. I have been thinking on it since a very young age, probably because I was living in a fundamentalist upbringing. When my mother died a number of years ago, it came right in my face, and made everything up close and precious.
You may be on to something. I was also raised in a fundamentalist home/church. It must have been so hard to lose your mother. I’m sorry for your loss; even though it’s inevitable, it’s also sad. Thank you for reading and especially for reaching out with this note.

It is hard to lose a mom. ❤️❤️
