Six years have passed since my mom died, but I still think about her almost every day. I can still hear her voice in my mind, and there are moments when I catch myself smiling because I know exactly what she would have said.
One of the things that always brings those memories rushing back is Ed Sheeran’s Supermarket Flowers. Although he wrote it about the loss of his grandmother—from his mother’s perspective—it speaks to anyone who has lost a parent or someone they deeply love.
One line has always stayed with me: “A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved.”
