Bumping into old friends


Recommended Posts

I moved back to my hometown after my mom died. Literally within a week, I moved back after 5 years of being gone. I was fortunate enough to have family friends who welcomed me into their home. 

I find that the longer I live here, the more people I bump into. There's unavoidable instances of "Oh how's your mom been?", and then having to explain that she died. It's awkward and just brings up memories I would rather not remember.My mom's death has suddenly become part of my identity even in my hometown. 

Has anyone else faced this issue?

I posted here but it must have disappeared!

I don't live in my hometown so haven't faced this.  I'm sorry you are going through this though, it must feel like a dagger each time it happens.
