This Sunday, May 10th, is Mother’s Day here in the United States. Although Mother’s Day is particularly weird this year, let’s be clear that Mother’s Day can be a day of mixed emotions any year. You may be relating to the day from the role of a mother or from the role of an adult child --or both. I find that any day that carries the expectation of joy and celebration also carries with it the shadow of loss and pain. I hope that you can allow yourself to honor the multiple truths of the day that feel present to you.
