Cristela Alonzo Instagram – Today is the anniversary of my mom’s death so…FYI: This joke is about death and grief. You know, funny stuff. It took me over ten years after my mom passed for me to be able to try to talk about that moment. wanted to post it to show people that I come from a family where we don’t talk about our feelings but I knew I had to break that cycle…no matter how hard it was. Twenty-one years ago and throughout the years, I like to noticing the stories I remember about her. My mom wasn’t taught to deal with her feelings…but that doesn’t mean her loss can’t.
