I know how tender these days are for bereaved moms leading up to the corporate outpouring of love and admiration for mothers.
It’s a blessing and a curse for those of us who have one or more children in Heaven.
A precious opportunity to remember the joy and beauty of holding and loving a child of our heart but also a reminder that one is no longer within arm’s length.
It’s OK (MORE than OK) if this week is punctuated by smiles and tears.It’s perfectly normal to have moments when grief overtakes you followed by moments of admiration and thanksgiving for the child or children still here.
It’s just how it is.

Ninety miles an hour-that’s how fast my mind can go from here to there.
From what’s in front of me to what’s behind me.
From laughter to swallowing sobs.
We sit in a living room surrounded by toys and playing with children, talking about life and love and plans and people. The little brown face that turns his eyes to mine looks so much like Dominic I have to suck in my breath.
Giggles. Squeals. Cars running up and down my arm and around my feet.
I will never see Dominic’s children.

What a timely reminder that Mother’s Day will never be the same for me as it once was.
The colors of my world are now muted, pale, lifeless.
The nausea and unwell feeling begins the moment the calendar page changes to May.
I want to sleep, not go through this valley again.
Gentle hugs to all the mom’s on this day that was once yours and your child or children. I wish you peace and God’s grace to hold you.
Isabel, Christina’s mom
