If Mother's Day is hard, and there are a million reasons why it could be, you aren't alone and grief isn't something you have to hide. Every part of you is welcome here.
Omgoodness, thank u ou so very much for so deeply connecting your grief and general collective grief with words and with me, us. Certainly 'hitting' home and heart and belly, all places in my body as well as nervous system where grief particles are still hidden, no matter what i thought i healed 'allready' from those 20 years my best friend ànd my mum died within 30 days of each other, and after that one very good friend after another, and than 10 years ago my dad, aunties, nephew last year, and so many more farther away on our globe...
we have to grieve and mourn, I know, otherwise our hearts close to "protect " ourselves 'against' loss and heart and for sure also for love and the Art of Loving and Grieving at the same time ❤️
Oh Michele you have summarised something I haven't been able to explain. I carry griefs around like clothes somedays and don't know where to go with them. The loved ones who have died. Lost dreams. Lost health. And many other little things. I'm thankful for your insights that give me hope and comfort.

“In the early days after my mom died, I wondered if I would survive the loss. It felt like my world was being dismantled on the molecular level.”
You have described me in a way I have been unable to describe myself. Thank you.
Your writing is a gift. Ty
