Gratitude can be found in unexpected places from "summary" of I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
In life, we often find ourselves searching for gratitude in all the wrong places. We look for it in the big moments, the grand gestures, the things that seem obvious. But what if I told you that gratitude can also be found in the most unexpected places? What if I told you that sometimes, it takes a tragedy to show us just how much we have to be thankful for?When my mom passed away, I was consumed by grief. I couldn't see past the pain, the loss, the emptiness that seemed to fill every corner of my world. But as time went on, I started to notice something strange happening. In the midst of my sorrow, I began to feel a sense of gratitude creeping in. It was subtle at first, just a tiny flicker of light in the darkness. But as I allowed myself to feel it, to really embrace it, I realized that there was so much to be thankful for, even in the midst of my pain. I found gratitude in the simple things - a warm cup of tea on a cold day, a kind word from a stranger, a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. I found gratitude in the people around me - friends who showed up when I needed them most, family members who held me close and let me cry. I found gratitude in the memories of my mom - the moments we had shared, the lessons she had taught me, the love that had always been there, even when she was gone. It was a strange and unexpected journey, this path to gratitude. But as I walked it, I realized that sometimes, the most valuable lessons come from the most unlikely sources. Sometimes, it takes a tragedy to remind us of all the good things we have in our lives. And sometimes, gratitude can be found in the most unexpected places.
