What makes Mother’s Day – a LOVE-HATE kind of day?
It’s like the BLEEDING Heart flower.
Beauty in heart and a relationship, yet often the mom, daughter, or son relationship, bleeds of pain.
It took me a bit of years and maturity before I grasped the pain this day may inflict upon women.
Every one of us has a mom, ma, mother, mama, also called a birthmother, or a giver of life.
However, not all of us have fond memories or even a relationship with a mom and/or perhaps she is passed on and the pain is real.
A LOVE-HATE kind of day, and that would equal Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day has always been a lovely day for me with remembering my mom. She always received a card, flowers, candy, or a personal gift of something she loved. I celebrated her throughout life, honored her and I am thankful for her. She is missed. And I must state, my father exemplified that to my siblings and myself, to respect our mom. Stop, appreciate her, never swear, or mouth off to her. She is your mom.
A mutual respect between my parents set the stage to learn to love and respect
and honor my mom and to give her thanks in life.
The day for Mother’s is a good memory day for me, even though I have learned and felt the pain of broken relationships with my own adult children. It hurts when one person longs for a relationship, yet the door is closed— for now.
- I pray.
- I recall.
- And I do give thanks. That is the key to getting better, and not bitter.
- AND I choose to NOT envy other moms who appear to have a good relationship with their children.
When I began teaching women classes and working with women as a coach, I then learned the struggle and the pain that many women face with their mom, their aunts, their grandma, their sisters, their girlfriends, and it is not nice.
I learned a truth.
Women have hurt women. And that includes moms to their children and children to their moms.
More truths to recall on Mother’s Day.
- God gifted you a child or children.
- They will die. You will die. Or one or the other may already have died.
- Life is short.
- Reach out to them if you can.
- Forgive them.
- Ask for forgiveness, if need be.
- Give thanks.
- Celebrate all you do recall.
Make your day more love than HATE!
