How To Honour Mother’s Day While Grieving

Mother’s Day messaging seems to take over everything for the weeks leading up to the date, and that can trigger a lot of different emotions for people depending on their relationship with the mothers in their lives.

Those of us who have lost a mother can feel like you are living differently in the world, without the anchor of the comforting knowledge of that one person who has known us since before we even knew ourselves. Losing that connection doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t spend this time remembering and celebrating the relationship you once had as a way to honour her memory and the impact she made in your life. The relationship does not end, because the love does not stop. Love never dies.

Honouring the memory of someone you have lost during celebrations can seem impossible, but there are some ways that you can incorporate the memories of those you are missing into your day.

Spend Time with Those Who Knew Her

Celebrate Mother’s Day with the people that she would have wanted to celebrate with, and spend time sharing happy memories together.

Write a Tribute to your Mother

Write down some of the things you loved most about your mother, and some of the ways that you still remember her in your everyday life. Reflect on the ways that she still impacts your life today.

Take Some Time Alone

Spend a few minutes away from the busyness of the day and sit quietly with the memories that come up.

However you choose to celebrate Mother’s Day, be sure that you take care of yourself and listen to what your intuition is telling you.
