It is true: Grief never leaves you. Fortunately, the people don’t really either, as long as they are in our hearts.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 1998 at just 50. It is very hard to carry on but when you get past the first hurdle you will start to heal. Mushy Peas was your hurdle.. Prayers for you for comfort and healing.. God Bless..

God bless you. Your Mom was definitely with you. ♥️

To be completely transparent, I don't like peas; but I'm up late and kind of detoxing from my kids fighting all day! Anyways... I wanted to share this moment with you. Everytime you talk about your mom, we feel your deep love for her. I loved hearing why you did certain things... because your mom did it that way. Sweet memories. Glad you were able to make this for your family this year. xoxo.

I don’t like peas either and yet here I am :)

Grief never leaves but continuing family traditions can soften it over the years, replacing the pain with sweet memories to be cherished and passed to the next generation.

Heather, I lost my momma the same year you lost your momma. I cry every time I make some of her favorite dishes. I use her cookware and make her recipes, and I feel like she is helping me cook. How was that for bad grammar lol. Just know that they are with us always. We feel them in our hearts. Love you bunches girl. Have happy holidays!

Aww hun , my moms been gone 21yrs october just gone...still hurts.... I still cook her mince beef stew, as a PROUD English woman, I can honestly say your Mushy peas would be very welcome on my plate of fish n chips any day..... Happy Thanksgiving hun....Enjoy your family time guys...love from the UK

My Mom has been gone for 10 years. I cried for you. I still cook my moms dishes. I know where you are coming from. You made her proud.

Good job Heather your mom would be so proud of what a hard working kind woman you are!

God bless you and ease your grief! Peace to you.!

I too am Welsh, but never heard of mushy peas so I will try them. Your moms spirit never leaves you and shouldn't, she is part of who you are. Happy Thanksgiving to all your family.

Continuing to watch your playlist.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom I lost my mom 21 years ago and it feels like yesterday....God bless you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving day sweet girl xx

I can’t believe this was a year ago! This video really feels like cooking with family ❤️ I understand not making a special dish like that for a while. Grief has no time limit, but I’m so so glad you shared this. It feels so special, and I know it is.

You could feel the love you have for your mom! Wishing you a happy thanksgiving, may God bless you!

Re watching your playlist.

I truly felt the sentiment while you showed us this.... the music really contributed and I almost got teared up. Thank you sharing 😘

Happy Thanksgiving Heather 💙 Your mama might not be there physically, but she's there every day. And she was totally there helping you make the mushy peas and helping you not burn them 💖

Heather Or a huge part of our heart also. Thank you so much for sharing Heather, God bless your mom, God bless you and God bless Matt 😘🙏🙏🙏 Linda from Ct

Thanks for sharing your moms recipe. Good memories. God Bless you.

Heather you have such a beautiful sprit. Have a wonderful day with your lovely family.

One of the first things I took out of my mothers house when she passed was all her canning and cooking stuff, including her hand written recipes. It has been years and I still get emotional sometimes when I make something special. I'm so thankful for all she gave me and continues to give me. It is really a great thing and I'm so glad you made that step to make something so close and dear to you. Of course, now, I'm wanting a big serving of mushy peas and a hunk of soda bread. ;-) Hugs to you and your family this holiday.

I hope you are able to get through the grief now in 2021 that you are going through also. Hundreds of people are praying for you. We will always be here waiting for you when the time is right. You are well loved as well as your family.

Oh Heather, thanks for sharing such a sweet memory. My Mom passed seven years ago this New Year’s Eve. Your right, grief remains a part of you, but over time the memories take you through it. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy thanksgiving Heather. I'm sending love and warm wishes your way.

OH Heather, I'm tearing up right along with you. I've been following you since Mason was born and I lost my dad just a little over a month before you lost your mom, I remember your video about your mom very clearly and back then I was just stuck in a hole with my grief, seeing you pour your heart out and sharing your grief helped me feel no so alone. Anyway my long, drawn out point was to tell you I am so proud of you for taking this huge step, no doubt your beautiful mom was watching over you every minute. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!

Thank you for sharing a memory of your childhood. May you and your family have a most blessed Thanksgiving.

Amazing tradition, keep memories going

I am all about tradition! Looks delicious and easy!!!!! For my husband he comes from a Slovenian family and they traditionally make potato dumplings. (We're talking grating potatoes, adding unmeasured flour; you go by feel, eggs, and then at the very end after the dumplings are done boiling and are still hot you add sautéed onions in butter and pour them over the top!) I've never been able to duplicate until this year! They came out perfect! My husbands mom use to make them and hasn't been with us anymore! She passed several years ago! When my husband went to take a taste the look on his face was wonderful! I knew he felt home again! Thanks for reminding me and everyone on KZread that family is always nearby and always in our hearts! I'm thankful for memories!!!! It was so lovely seeing you honor your mother! I'm very close to my mom! In fact your juicy juice Apple peach jelly brought my mom to tears! Her mom use to make something similar and she said that it tasted exactly like her moms jelly! Thank you Heather!!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!!!

Aww, thanks for sharing your recipe and your memories. I lost my mama a five years ago, and cooking always makes me feel close to her :).

Praying you and your family UP, sweet Heather!

HI Heather, A little teary watching this. My grandma made those for me. Had it on toast. People always say it's creamed but it wasn't. Thank you! Bless you. Happy Thanksgiving. I lost my mom when I was just 20.To breast cancer. Never leaves you

Mom's memories that she helped make. We all had different memories and Mom would joke that we all grew up in different homes, but Moms cooking we all remember the same. Chuckle! Happy Thanksgiving

I miss my mom every day when I cook, wanted to say that!

Happy Thanksgiving Lady. Your Mother would be proud. God bless.

You’re very special. Love your videos and you have taught me a lot. Thank you

Happy Thanksgiving Heather! I loved this video, it warms my heart when you speak of your mother! I think you made her very proud today making the mushy peas.My husband and I watch a lot of British TV, and I have always wondered what they were. I must say I cried along with you dear one, I am blessed to still have my parents with me, and cherish them everyday, we never know what each day may bring us, so love with your whole heart. I almost lost my husband to cancer three years ago, it has been a very long road, your family, and all of your videos helped me along that terrible road. Matt and the children are so very lucky to have a mommy and wife such as you! Love to you all this Holiday season, may God Bless you all.

Oh my.... looks so yummy. I love me some peas. I can only imagine how good these would be. Hope your family had a Happy Thanksgiving. Glad you could have a part of your Mom at your table.

They look awesome .Definitely traditional mushy peas.

Awww, Heather! You are a huge part of our heart also! We are dealing with the grief this Thanksgiving also, having just buried my sister and dad not being here. It's hard. Prayers for you! Hope you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving, with lots of love and laughter!

Oh girl, this made me cry. Know that you are in my prayers and I am so thankful for all that you share with us! Have a very happy Thanksgiving!

Awww bless you, what a great way to honor your Mom and family traditions to pass down. Happy Holiday's Conn family.

wish I was having Thanksgiving. but I haven't in three years because I am ventilated in the hospital. the peas look amazing. you are very lucky to have your Mama's gift of cooking like I have except we would fight over the crunchy part of the stuffing and the little turkey butt. my dad always won that battle. Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone you touch with your pure heart. which is why we have Thanksgiving in the first place

Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing this special memory with us. ❤️

Aww you made me wet my face at the end....I will never look at peas the same way again...it's the little things that have away of reminding us of precious memories....Happy Thanksgiving to you guys!

Heather I love you and your heart! This morning has been emotional for me to say the very least,but seeing you get through your grief for your Mom,gives me hope to get through mine. Thank you so much for sharing such sweet beautiful memories with us. It is through thier memories, they live within us, and we are their legacy ❤️ happy Thanksgiving Conn family❤️

I loved seeing the way that you tried to follow the traditional way that your mom prepared the mushy peas, as difficult as it was to find the peas. My grandma taught me a lot about cooking and I love to honor her memory by cooking the way that she did. It is bittersweet though thinking about her and the times that we shared. But as much as sadness, there is joy too, and love! Thank you for allowing us the privilege to share in your tradition and personal memories. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

I just love your family! Happy belated thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving to you and your Family !!!!! Mushy Peas I am going to try them Looks very good and I know they are very healthy. thank you for sharing.

I got You Tube playing in the background and this came on! I got teary eyed when you were mixing them up and I imagined you were reminiscing about standing next to your mama talking about family and about to enjoy a beautiful dinner together... I get this way making my Grandmas meatballs - Hugs girlie!!

Thank you for powering-through and sharing this recipe with us Heather. Not having lost my mom I don't know the depth of your loss but can appreciate how difficult this might have been for you. My mom's dad was from Welsh parents so maybe he ate this delicious dish in his lifetime so I will search out the ingredients and give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all out here and I hope that you and your family have a lovely Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your wonderful family !! May God Bless you in more ways than you could ever dream possible!

Thanks for sharing

Happy Thanksgiving !! Thanks for sharing this emotional journey !! Hugs !!

Thank you for sharing this with us❤ I got teary watching you make these. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. Sending a hug your way!

Oh, mama the bittersweet healing of losing your own mama can be heartbreaking. I'm still on my journey - my mom died 2 1/2 years and I still think of her daily. I appreciate showing us your vulnerability. I'm glad your Thanksgiving went well - I love peas so I may try these. Can't believe I'm saying this but "Heather is a part of my youtube family.

Happy Thanksgiving, Heather! I just adore you and your precious family. Been following you for years and binge watching your videos when I need a friendly face and some fun but I've never commented before. Your mushy peas story touched my heart...I've heard you talk about them before...but today was special because...well you know. Your mom was with you. I have no doubt! I'm not sure why I've waited so long to comment so it feels good to break free and tell you I'm thankful for you because you feel like an old friend and I've laughed with you, cried with you (especially while watching your video just after your mom passed) and I've learned so much from you with all your wonderful, family orientated videos. Big hug and lots of love to you and your family today and always! P.S. I just loved hearing little Mina singing in the background in a recent video. Hearing the kiddos warms the heart! Cheers!

Love mushy peas, especially with fish and chips.. perfect also with a meat pie mashed potatoes and gravy x

Love you sweetheart. Blessings 🤗💕

Happy Thanksgiving ! your smile is so contagious ! puts a smile on my face !!

Happy Blessed Thanksgiving Heather to you and your family and May God Bless! Thank you for sharing your mom's recipe. Sending love and caring thoughts your way.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Hugs!!!

Heather you are one in a million. I adore you and your family. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family through your videos. I understand why it took a while before you were able to make your Mom's signature dish. My Dad passed away 17 plus years ago. Growing up we loved chili and Dad always made it from his own recipe. It was many years before I was able to even get his recipe out let alone make it. Too painful. A few years ago I was ready. Cried happy and sad tears through the whole process. When I close my eyes I can see my Dad standing at the stove making his chili. Bitter sweet for sure but darn good chili. Thanks Dad.
