Remembering Mum

📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here This episode is a quiet, personal reflection on love, loss, and remembrance. In Remembering Mum, Aishat reads from two blog posts written six months apart - one before losing her mother, and one after. The first captures the tenderness and anticipatory grief of saying goodbye without knowing it may be the last. The second reflects on loss, absence, and the early days of learning to live with grief. This is not a teaching episode, and there are no neat takeaways. Instead, it is an honest remembering; of a mother’s prayers, a family’s shifting reality, and the way love continues even when someone is no longer physically present. This episode sits at the heart of February’s theme: love, loss, and grief, and is offered gently, for anyone carrying their own memories or losses. Listener note: This episode includes reflections on bereavement and loss. Please listen gently, and pause if needed. Key Takeaways: Love continues, even when presence becomes memory — and remembering can be its own quiet form of care. Closing reflection: “Grief doesn’t move in straight lines. Love doesn’t end when someone dies; it changes form. Remembering, too, is a form of love.” About your host: Aishat is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.
