Most of us have complicated relationships with our mothers. This makes holidays like the upcoming Mother’s Day difficult. Whether or not she is in our lives, it may be a reminder of the relationship we don’t have with her, which can cause grief and even anger.
Instead of succumbing to another disappointing holiday of unfulfilled expectations, I suggest you find alternative ways to enjoy the day. If you have kids, celebrate it with them or if you don’t, take time to mother yourself.
Our posts this week, give hope, support and reason to make it a special day no matter what you’re struggling with.
