279. When Mother's Day Hurts: What Every Grieving Mom Needs to Hear

Mother's Day is coming — and you already feel it. Maybe it started in the grocery store when you saw the flowers. Maybe it was a commercial. Maybe it was someone asking if you had anything special planned. And something inside of you just stopped. This episode is for you — the grieving mom who is dreading the day that the rest of the world is getting ready to celebrate.

You are still a mother. That did not change when your child left this earth. But part of this day feels missing now — and your heart is torn between what was and what is. Whether you are grieving your only child or carrying the weight of loving the children still beside you while mourning the one who is not — this episode was made for where you are right now.

If Mother's Day feels more like something to survive than something to celebrate, stay with me. What you'll find in this episode might be exactly what your heart needs before the day arrives.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why the pain of Mother's Day often starts long before the day itself — and why your heart is not wrong for feeling it

• What scripture says about how God sees your grief — and why you don't have to conform to the world's version of what Mother's Day is supposed to look like

• What Jesus did from the cross for his mother — and what that means for you this Mother's Day

• How to give yourself permission to navigate this day in a way that lets your whole family breathe

You do not have to perform okayness this Mother's Day. You do not have to go to the places that will cost you more than you have to give. You have permission to protect your heart — and the hearts of the people around you — while still honoring the love that will never leave you. God sees you. And he has not left you alone in this.
