What is Mother's Day like for a grieving mother? It means that even though you do still have a living child, it doesn't make the pain any less.
People can see your living child but, they cannot see the hole left in your soul.
Mother's Day isn't any easier because its been x amount. of years etc.
Mother's day os learning to balance joy and pain.
It has never been the same,
It is bittersweet. I will always treasure my heavenly Lezlie as much as her earthly brother Zach.
I will miss her voice, her texts and her hugs but, will enjoy having her bubba still here with me.
I do not want to explain yet again that I do have more than one child. Regardless of where she is.
I would love to be antisocial but, I know I cannot,.
It is a confusing mix of happiness, sadness, gratitude, etc. People need to realize time doesn't heal everything, especially not the loss of your child. Acknowledging she existed too is probably one of the greatest gifts someone could give.
But, regardless of how it makes any of us feel, I know that knowing others are thinking and praying means more than most can imagine.
On Mother's Day, I can think of no mother more deserving than a mother who had to give one back - Erma Bombeck.
