For the first few weeks, your friends and coworkers will be wonderful. They’ll offer you lots of smiles and hugs. They’ll offer to take you to dinner and they’ll listen as you talk about how bad the pain is. You’ll hear a lot of “I’m here for you”, and “If there’s anything I can do” comments during this time. After a couple months, it will seem like people have forgotten that you lost this important part of your life. They’ll stop asking how you are, and they might even look worried when you want to talk about your mom. You see, people who haven’t gone through this pain think there’s a period of grieving and that's it. After a certain time, you should be ready to move on with your life and "get over it." But you will never get over it. The pain will lessen, and the moments of intense grief will be farther apart, but how can you ever get over losing your mother?

I had thought that when my mother died, it would be like heartbreak. It would be intense and painful and follow me round with every single breath, dragging behind me like a boulder. But it’s not. I live my life, I have fun, I laugh and all seems fine and then bam. There it is again. It may last a minute, 10 minutes, an hour, a few days and then it’s gone. Just like that. Grief is crazy-making with an element of surprise and the constant knowledge that no matter what you do that person is gone, never to return, never.
One More Day I wish for nothing more Than just one more day, For I would give it all, Just to hear you say. It’s funny how In life it seems You take for granted The most important things. To feel her close, And be safe again, Safe from my own self, Back with my best friend. Yes, she was the best, And at other times the only, My Friend, you left me here, And now my heart is lonely. If you could just come back, If only for one day, I’d make sure that I’d listen To all you had to say. And now that it’s too late, You cannot speak anymore, I finally realized, I should have heard you before. And if I could do it over, I’d only change one thing, I’d tell you that I love you, And how much joy to me you bring. No one will ever know Quite how I feel inside, And on that day you left, You weren’t the only one who died. You have always been there, Mom, And you loved me ‘til the end. So with all my heart and soul, I love you too, My Friend.

Nur, weil eine berühmte Person damit zu tun hat, sollte diese nicht bevorzugt behandelt werden. Es gibt tausend Mütter, Väter, Söhne, Töchter, Omas, Opas, Freunde, Tanten, Onkels die mindestens genau so viel Aufmunterung nötig haben, wie die, die Taylor Swift von ihren Fans bekommt. Die meisten können das sowieso nicht nachvollziehen, da sie selbst nie sowas erlebt haben. Aber anstatt einen Popstar aufmuntern zu wollen, würde ich mich lieber mal in meinem Umfeld umschauen. Da gibt es vielleicht niemanden mit einer krebskranken Mutter wie die von Taylor Swift, aber andere Menschen haben auch Probleme. Die sind genau so viel wert wie die von Taylor Swift. Also anstatt ihr unpersönliche Nachrichten übers Internet zu schreiben, helft lieber einem eurer Freunde, der gerade Probleme in der Schule, in der Familie oder mit sich selbst hat. Direkt vor Ort ist Hilfe viel nützlicher als solche, die oberflächlich einer Person übers Netz angeboten wird, die ihr noch nicht mal persönlich kennt.
