I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to express, first and foremost, my immense gratitude for your crossing of my Mum’s path. All that you contributed to her journey trickled out to everyone in her life, including me, her daughter—proving that the web of life truly is complete in so many ways.
I wanted to give you notice, as you will see above, that my Mum has made her transition. She was at peace, I was by her side, and her journey continues forward energetically. While you may have questions about how, when, or why, it is quite a journey to explain or explore, and I do not expect anyone to fully understand right now. Instead, I want you to know that the focus is entirely on gratitude. If you take a moment to reflect on your own path with my Mum, you will absolutely understand that perspective.
She was fiercely dedicated to living and stayed entirely focused on life—to the point that she wanted to be around until at least 100, though her body ultimately did not allow it. She did not want anyone to mourn her departure; she always told us to simply “go live life.” She was a truly remarkable and interesting person in her own unique way, as we all are. The gifts she gave were vast, and each person carries a story of their own to share and carry forward.
What I ask of you now is to take a moment to sit with the loved ones beside you and hold them close. Share a fond or funny story of my Mum or recall a moment you shared that made you laugh, cry, or feel deeply alive. Honor the ways she inspired you to change what you couldn't accept, gave you the courage to speak your truth, or taught you the quiet wisdom of knowing when to simply listen.
She lived the final quarter of her life to the absolute fullest, giving of herself in service, and she truly found love again with her amazing husband, Brad Grubb. He resides close to me, deeply cared for, and doing well as he navigates his own adjustments.
Sometimes it is tough to sit with the challenges and questions of what should have, could have, or would have been—yet please, do not stay there. Instead, BE in a space of humble gratitude for life and your opportunity to live fully in each moment. Ask yourself: How can I live better, show up better, and be a better person for those around me to the best of my ability right now? That is what I ask, and that is exactly what my Mum would ask of you. I am following her wishes, and I ask that you honor this process, even if there is a lack of understanding.
I am so deeply appreciative of you. Please know that you were a gift in the crossing of her path.
Never minimize your impact. Always start with heart!
Be well, H2W2©, Jewelýa (Sue’s Daughter)
