After ten years of motherhood, the author expresses how her perspective on Mother's Day shifted dramatically due to the grief experienced by a friend who lost a child. Initially viewed as a day to indulge in self-care, it now serves as a poignant reminder to appreciate her own children and the bond of motherhood. The experience has deepened her understanding of the weight of motherhood and the sacredness of the connections that transcend life and loss.
This year, I have an acute awareness of everything that is at stake, and the power associated with this earthly motherhood journey.
While I am not grieving the loss myself, I have learned that there is something wildly transformative about being in the presence of a grieving mother.
