I can’t even tell you how much strength I have gathered to finally write this one. I lost my mom in May 2020, right after few days of celebrating Mother’s day with her and surprising her with a precious gift. I can’t even say how much I miss her, every day every moment. Mother’s Day can be a difficult and emotional time for those who have lost their mom, and if you are someone who has lost your mother, know that you are not alone. Don’t let social media fool you and trigger you making you feel unlucky.
Though, every single day is tough but Mother’s day especially can serve as a reminder of the absence and grief we feel, especially when so many people around on social media are posting happy photos and so many brands doing ad campaigns. However, there are ways to honor and celebrate the memory of a beloved mother even in her absence.
Here are a few suggestions that you may would like to consider:
- Remember and cherish the memories: Take some time to reflect on the special moments you shared with your mother. You can look at old photos, read old letters or journals, or simply spend some time thinking about the good times you had together.
- Create a tribute: You can create a tribute to your mother in many ways. This can be a poem, a scrapbook, a piece of art, or anything that honors her memory and celebrates the life she lived.
- Reach out to others who have lost their mother: You are not alone in your grief, and there are others who understand what you are going through. You can reach out to friends, family, or support groups to share your feelings and find comfort in their shared experiences.
- Do something your mother loved: Whether it was baking her favorite dessert, going for a walk in nature, or watching her favorite movie, doing something that your mother enjoyed can be a way to feel closer to her and keep her memory alive.
- Practice self-care: It’s important to take care of yourself, especially during difficult times. Take the day to do something that makes you happy and brings you peace, whether it’s spending time in nature, reading a good book, or practicing mindfulness.
It is okay to feel sad, cry and let your heaven-abode mother know that you love her so much. She is always looking at you, she is noticing every single moment. Void that is created will never be filled but time will help you learn to accept the reality and live with it.
Remember once again I want to say, it’s okay to feel sad and to grieve. Mother’s Day may be difficult, but you can find ways to honor and celebrate your mother’s memory in a way that feels right for you. She is in your heart and is always looking you from up above.
