Oh Holly... I am so very sorry for your loss. I understand how hard it is to lose a parent. Time stands still and becomes a blur at the same time - for a while. Sharing about your loss may help someone else. It truly helped me to hear the experiences of others who had joined the same 'club' so to speak. I felt less alone in it. I was fortunate enough to be working from home so that I could spend about a month back home with the family after my dad passed (2020). As far as TIME... I want it to go nice and slow so I can savor all of the moments of my life - even the grief. The tears and the sadness are because we loved them so much. Happy New Year!

I'm so sorry you lost your mum, Holly. I can relate strongly to so much of what you say about being with loved ones. My trips to see my elderly parents never seem enough. But I'm always glad I make them. And try to focus on tiny moments. Look after yourself and your bother in this time of grief. Wishing you all the best for 2025.
