YES. My mum passed June 18, 2004. The rest of the summer was busy with the work of “finalizing things” and next thing I knew, it was late October. I found myself in this deep depression- my mom was gone, my garden (the thing she and I loved to connect over was our gardens)was dead, the season had ended. I was overcome by grief. It has gotten easier over the last 20 years-but every year in late October, a fog descends. I understand it better these days, and reflect and celebrate her. ❤️
