Grieving Mothers
As Mother’s Day approaches it can be a particularly sensitive occasion for those mourning the death of a mother. I am one of those mourners. Although it has been almost six years since my mother’s death, it will forever be a holiday for which I can only honor her memory. We all have our own very personal ways of remembering those who have died, and here are a few ideas;
- Visit the cemetery, it can be an important mourning ritual. It helps to embrace the loss and remember
- Publish a memorial poem in the newspaper, church bulletin. Again its another way to honor your mother with a poem
- Plant your mother’s favorite flower, afterall its spring and gardening represents growth, beauty and the natural cycles of life & death
- Reach out to other family members and share a meal where you can all talk about fond memories of your Mother
- Be silly, do something you loved as a kid and recall how much fun your Mom had with you as a child
- Be mindful of someone else who might need comfort and guidance just as your Mom provided you, let a little bit of your Mom’s good works rub off, you’ll be glad you did!
