Two things can exist at the same time on this Mother’s Day. You could be happy and you can be sad. Two things can exist at the same time.
Mother’s Day for some is a sad occasion because they no longer have their mothers or mother figures or grandmothers or someone who raised them and it could be a sad occasion, but they can also honor them as well. For this Mother’s Day for me. I lost my mom and I lost mama number two, my sister but this day for me this particular day this particular May 10 is also a sad day because I also lost my brother on Mother’s Day on this day many years ago.
While working with my therapist we talked about mapping out time to grieve and not tap it down nor doing busy work to forget it and today I took my 15 minutes and I sat outside and I heard the birds and I felt the breeze and I sat in my sadness and I cried and as I when arose from my 15 minutes, I felt cleansed I felt grateful to have had those three people in my life and the legacy that they left behind and I’m so grateful.
So if you need to sit in your sadness today, do that but also realize that those people were in your lives for a reason and honor them.
