Moving forward, not moving on

Written By Mama Kat

In grief all we can do is move forward. If not forward, than at the very least just move. Do the dance, it’s ok. You don’t have to move in any kinda way.

It’s gonna change one week to the next.

Let go of trying to know what’s going on, just know that it’s changed, and will continue to do so as you journey through the old and the new. I’m still going through this and the more that time passes, i know i’ll arrive to a new place that feels some kinda normal.

Not the same. Never to be the same again. But some kinda, will do.

I’m pretty sure in a year or two, i’ll look back either way and be proud of how i’ve travelled and i’ll be back home in Aotearoa.

Mama Kat

I’m a mother navigating life after the loss of my son, Luther.

This space began as a way to speak honestly about grief. Not from the other side of it, but from within it. The changing days, the questions, the exhaustion, the love that remains, and the quiet moments in between.

Through the podcast and journal, I share reflections from this journey in real time. Unpolished. Human. Sometimes heavy, sometimes unexpectedly light, but always real.

If you’ve found your way here through loss, love, or longing, you are welcome here.
