Mothers Day can be a difficult time when you are missing your Mom. Social media accounts are full of people celebrating the day with their Moms--flowers, brunch, and togetherness.
Another wave of grief may hit as you realize you can no longer celebrate in this way. Mothers Day can be a day for remembering your Mom and celebrating the relationship that you had.
- Remember the things you enjoyed doing together and do them in honor of your Mom on Mothers Day. In my family, we always spent Motherís Day walking in the woods. So, a good hike with memories of Mom would be a comforting way to pass down this family tradition.
- Honor your Mom by donating to her favorite charity or volunteering for a day in her memory. Selflessness can ease the burden of grief by encouraging you to think of others.
- Recognize other caring moms you know with a message, card, or small gift. Consider complimenting a neighbor, sibling, or friend on their parenting skills.
