Brave Little Heart: Minè's Journey

11/06/2026

💜🦋 8 Maande Sonder Jou 🦋💜
Vandag is dit 8 maande sedert jy jou engelvlerkies gekry het, my liefste Minè.
Agt maande van verlang. Agt maande van stilte waar jou laggie eens my wêreld gevul het. Agt maande van wakker word met die hoop dat dit alles net 'n slegte droom was, net om weer die hartseer werklikheid in die gesig te staar.
Minè, ek mis jou meer as wat woorde ooit kan beskryf. My hart verlang elke enkele dag na jou. Daar is nie 'n oomblik wat verbygaan sonder dat ek aan jou d**k nie. Ek verlang na jou stemmetjie, jou drukkies, jou glimlag en die manier waarop jy my "Mamma" genoem het.
As ek kon, sou ek tyd terugdraai net vir een oomblik. Net om jou weer vas te hou. Net om jou weer te soen. Net om vir jou te sê hoe ongelooflik lief ek jou het.
Die wêreld hou aan draai, maar my hart het saam met jou vertrek daardie dag. Ek leer om aan te gaan, maar ek sal nooit oor jou kom nie. Jy was en sal altyd die grootste deel van my hart wees.
My pragtige meisie, ek dra jou in elke asemteug, elke traan en elke herinnering. Ek hoop jy weet hoe ongelooflik lief Mamma jou het. Daardie liefde sal nooit verdwyn nie, nie vandag nie, nie môre nie, nie ooit nie.
💜 Ek mis jou. 💜 Ek verlang na jou. 💜 Ek sal jou vir altyd liefhê, my Minè.
🦋 Vir altyd my dogtertjie. Vir altyd my hart. 🦋

Being a grieving mother is exhausting in ways no one can truly explain.
It is waking up every morning carrying pain that never slept. It is smiling when you can, while silently falling apart inside. It is trying to survive while your heart constantly longs for the child you lost.

Sometimes a grieving mother needs a break — not because she wants to run away from life, but because the weight of the emotions becomes too much to carry. The sadness, the anger, the longing, the emptiness… it all builds up until even breathing feels heavy.

And one of the hardest parts is watching the world continue while yours stands completely still.

People slowly go back to their normal lives. Conversations change. Days move on. The world keeps turning. But for a mother who lost her child, time stopped the moment her child left this earth.

We are at the stage where it feels like people are forgetting Minè… and that breaks my heart all over again. Because how can the world move forward when someone so beautiful, so loved, so important is missing from it?

I know life goes on for everyone else. I understand that people cannot carry this grief forever the way I do. But my life will never simply “move on.”
There will always be a piece of me missing.
There will always be an empty space where Minè should have been.

I will carry her name, her memory, her laughter, and the love I have for her for the rest of my life.
Because a mother never stops loving her child… even after goodbye. 💔🦋

I miss you more than words will ever be able to carry, Minè. 💔
I miss your little hands, your soft voice, the way you filled every space with light without even trying. I miss the weight of you in my arms, the way you belonged there so perfectly.
Some days I still look for you without thinking — in the quiet moments, in the small routines, in the places where you should be. And when I remember you’re not coming back, it feels like my heart breaks all over again.
The world keeps moving, but mine stopped the day you left.
There is an emptiness nothing can fill, a silence that screams your name.
I carry you with me in every breath, every tear, every heartbeat.
I miss you endlessly, my beautiful girl.
I will always be your mommy.
And I will always be missing you. 🦋💜

Yesterday marked 5 months since we lost you.
Five long, aching months without your voice, your laughter, your presence filling our home.
Not a single day has passed where we haven’t missed you.
Some days the pain sits quietly in my chest…
and other days it feels like it’s crushing me from the inside out.
I find myself constantly between wanting to give up
and wondering how much more life can throw at me before I completely break.
Losing you changed everything.
It changed who I am.
It changed how I breathe, how I wake up, how I move through this world.
We miss you in every moment.
In the silence.
In the noise.
In the spaces where you should be.
Five months without you…
and a lifetime to go loving you. 💔🦋

My liefste Minè, mamma het vir jou n liedjie geskryf. Ek kan well nie sing nie en daar is nie musiek by nie. Maar die liedjie beskryf hoe jy was en is en sal altyd wees.

“Angel Wings for Minè”
Verse 1
You came into this world like a soft sunrise,
Tiny hands, but a soul so wise.
Purple skies and butterfly dreams,
You filled our lives with magic between.
Your laugh still echoes in every room,
Even silence still speaks of you.
I trace your name in the quiet air,
Pretending for a moment you’re still there.
Chorus
Oh Minè, my angel child,
Heaven gained you, earth went wild.
My heart broke in a thousand ways,
But my love for you will never fade.
If I could trade my breath for yours,
I’d do it without fear, without pause.
Until we meet beyond the sky,
Live on through me, my Minè — fly.
Verse 2
I dreamed of school days, scraped-up knees,
First lost tooth and big girl dreams.
I pictured you chasing all your goals,
Not leaving this world so painfully whole.
Now mornings hurt, nights ache too,
Every “what if” leads back to you.
I walk this life with a hollow chest,
Learning grief is love that won’t rest.
Chorus
Oh Minè, my angel child,
Heaven gained you, earth went wild.
My heart broke in a thousand ways,
But my love for you will never fade.
If I could trade my breath for yours,
I’d do it without fear, without pause.
Until we meet beyond the sky,
Live on through me, my Minè — fly.
Bridge
Butterflies still pass me by,
Purple sunsets make me cry.
I see your signs, I feel you near,
You’re not gone — just not here.
You’re in my strength, you’re in my pain,
In every tear, in every prayer I say.
I’ll carry you through all my days,
A mother’s love never fades.
Final Chorus
Oh Minè, my precious one,
My forever, my first sun.
This world is quieter without you here,
But I’ll love you through every year.
When my time comes, I’ll run to you,
No more broken, no more blue.
Until then, know this is true —
Mommy lives… for loving you. 💜🦋

Everybody experience grief differently. We are four months later and still I'm struggling to do the simplest tasks, like standing up to pour me a cup of coffee or make me something to eat. My days are long and my nights short. I have 3 beautiful children and (feeling guilty about it) struggle to spend time with them. I feel guilty for showing them love or give them attention because Mine is not here to receive it as well. My youngest is 3 and she is this amazing little girl with the biggest personality, she talks a lot and always want to play but my will is not there and for that i feel guilty. Days like today I could barely move, breath or sleep. I don't want to hear that it gets better cause now I cant see it ever getting better. I am angry, lost and feel alone and that is something I have to deal with everyday. This post is just how I experience grief. I hope that this post reach another mom who is also grieving just to see that she is not alone. It is okay to feel what you feel, it is ok to just do nothing the whole day.
