LindsayMy mom died. Exactly a week ago. If you have been following this blog for a while, you know she had a rare degenerative brain disease (Progressive Supranucelar Palsy), and we knew this was coming. Despite all that, this is still really hard.
I’m still pretty fragile after everything and not ready to talk about it, so for now I will let the series of tweets that I posted in the days leading up to and after her death tell you the story.
Thank you all for the supportive comments over the past few years as I wrote about my mom’s decline. I love you for caring about her.

One of those defining moments in life when you know you will never, ever be the same person you were before. Sending all my love and big, comforting hugs xoxo
Thanks, Jak. So true. It’s hard to imagine ever going back to how my life was before this.
Sorry to hear this, and glad you were with her. Wishing you comfort and peace.
thank you, Melissa.
Sending love and spoons. Words are inadequate at times like these; just know you have support from people who care.
thank you!
The nature of Tweets is that they’re blunt anyway so having them all together like this.. made me cry as I went through them so I can only imagine what it does to you. I echo what’s been said above. Words are inadequate. ♥ 🌹♥ xxxxxx
Words feel so useless, but I’m so sorry and sad to hear you lost your mother… and how you lost her. <3
Thank you very much
I’m so sorry, Lindsay. Having lost both my parents, your tweets hit so close to home. I have a garage seemingly filled with both of my parents stuff because even years later, I just can’t. Take it easy on yourself, give yourself time.
It’s tough, especially this time of year. I’m sorry about both your parents.
Broke my heart, I cried for you. You’re one special woman, Linds, and now I know a big part of why. Your mom will live in your heart and mind always.
Thanks, friend.
Sending you all the love during this tough time. I hope you are okay. Thinking of you <3
