Billi Lourd took to Instagram on Sunday to honor her mom. She shared a heartfelt throwback photo of herself as a child next to her smiling mother and a koala. “People always ask me what stage of grief I’m in. And my answer is never simple. I’m in a different stage of grief in each moment of every day,” She wrote on the caption.

“My grief is a multi course meal with many complicated ingredients. An amuse bouche of bargaining followed by an anger appetizer with a side of depression, acceptance for the entree and of course a little denial for dessert.
