My friend Crystal Webster over at Sharing Solace has a special invitation for you! Her new book ‘Confessions of a Griever: Turning a Hot Mess into an Haute Message (Laughable Lessons for When Life Just Sucks)’ will be released on Tuesday, May 19th, her daughter Maddie's 10th birthday. She's throwing a big virtual Birthday Book Bash and you are invited to attend! Just visit www.sharingsolace.com/birthday to RSVP and get your FREE ticket! There will be plenty of fun, snarky shenanigans, party hats, interpretive readings (maybe interpretive dance too), special guests, and prizes galore!  Mother’s Day often reminds people of losses they don't often speak of, like the mom who neglected, reject, abused or abandoned them. Moms are not supposed to leave or hurt their children, prefer substance addiction or a romantic relationship instead of their kids. Unfortunately, many do.
Perhaps a son or daughter had a wonderful mother who has died, is dying, or suffers from a disease that has stolen the mom they were from them, and they are missing her on every level imaginable. Many moms are grieving a child or children that died, included mothers who've lost adult children, teens, infants at birth or by miscarriage. The hole in their hearts forever exquisitely tender and incomprehensibly deep. Mothers who are estranged from their kids and/or their child has an addiction, mental illness, severe disability, or has rejected them or their family may ache for a call or visit home or the restoration of health and/or sobriety. Some dream of being a mom but carry the heavy grief of that unfulfilled longing, whether due to infertility, past abortion, miscarriage, medical conditions, or the fact that the family and/or marriage they dreamed of never materialize. If Mother’s Day is a difficult day for you for one of these causes, or for any reason, we acknowledge your loss, sadness and pain. Your feelings are valid and real. It's okay not to be okay. Please be extra kind and gentle with yourself today. For all of you who are missing a special person in your life on Mother's Day, and every day you are not alone. |
