I was watching the View yesterday as they were discussing the upcoming Mother’s Day Holiday. One of the hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, choked up as she reflected on this being the first Mother’s Day without her mom.
Watching the show, it immediately sent me back in time to that first Mother’s Day when I realized that Mom was not there in the flesh. I remember sitting at Mass and when they passed around the carnations, red for the living, white if they had died, I started to sob. Ohhh how I cried and had such a deep sense of sorrow. Thankfully, friends held me and let me have my moment to grieve.
So for those of you who are experiencing the first …take a deep breath! Honor your mother in a way that would suit the both of you and cry if you must and laugh if you can. Peace
