Mother’s Day can hold a lot of emotions at once…
Love. Gratitude.
Sadness. Longing. Grief.
And for many people… those feelings exist together.
What makes this day especially hard is that grief often becomes more visible internally… while becoming more invisible to everyone else.
People may not realize how much energy it takes just to move through the day.
To open social media.
To walk through stores.
To hear conversations about mothers and families everywhere.
And grief is not only about death.
Some are grieving the relationship they wish they had.
Some are grieving a child.
Some are grieving someone who is still physically here… but no longer the same.
This day can touch many different kinds of loss.
And if any part of this feels familiar to you… drop “NOT ALONE” in the comments and let someone else know they are not carrying this feeling by themselves.
