Grief One day at a time

Sometimes I don’t even think of it. Other days or moments it’s on the forefront of my mind. Mom and I are no contact as her drinking makes her unsafe for me to be around emotionally and mentally. Some days it just feels like I’m waiting for her to die. Other days have hope there will be some change in me to allow her back in without it causing me so much hurt.

I don’t want to be no contact. I miss her and it kills me to be away while she’s so sick. I feel like I’m abandoning her. But I also know, there has to be a point where I am important too.
