Grieving on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day. It’s hard to presently mother living children while also learning how to mother a child lost. It’s hard to know how to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate the two different versions of your mothering, of yourself. It’s hard to face a day that magnifies these things. So if you’re a mama like me, who balances delicately between two different worlds, I am holding space for you. I understand how this beautiful day of recognition and appreciation can bring pain too.
