My dear friend recently lost her mother. Instead of planning a Mother’s Day brunch this week, she is preparing for a funeral and trying to fathom how she will get through this Mother’s Day and each day.
Our conversation was a humbling reminder that many people dread Mother’s Day.
Before celebrating the blessings in your life, acknowledge that Mother’s Day is not a celebration for everyone. Grief and loss regarding infertility, the loss of a child, or mother can be crippling.
Let’s remember not to make assumptions and to treat each other with compassion as Mother’s Day approaches.
