Mother's Day has always been hit or miss for me. I either have a glorious day celebrating with my kids or I can't even get out of bed. Grieving is a process that can take a toll on anybody. I must say being a parent has helped with the process because I focus on the things I have gained and not lost.
I remember the lessons my mother taught me and share them with my children. I was so blessed to have a strong, kind hearted mother and Mother's Day is a day I practice self love and appreciation. I take time for myself by usually doing things like: mediating, working out, taking a bath. I also use the early mornings to do an extended skincare routine. Finding peace in the little quiet moments help.
So, if you are in the same boat as me, don't obligated to smile or be dishonest about your feelings. If you need to cry. Cry. Sit with your feelings because if you don't they will find a way to seep out slowly and uncontrollably.
