Prior to my mum’s death, the only other people close to me that had died were my grandparents. There were the highs of good test results and the lows of the bad ones. I was no longer waiting for another shoe to drop and I stopped living from test to test. With the months that have passed by since mum’s death, I have learnt a lot about dealing with grief especially if you are a millennial like me. Mum’s death taught me that no one is guaranteed tomorrow or another year, therefore if ever there are things you would love to do someday, now is the time.
