Grief...

Mother's Day is always a hard time for me because I no longer have my mother with me and while I no longer spiral into these deep bouts of depression I do find myself feel sadder every year.

I thought that it would get easier as I got older but I find myself needing her more and more. I often think as I approach the age that she was before she passed that there are going to be questions that I have about what I am going through in life that I can’t find the answers to. We often talk about children needing a village but what about motherless women…I do have a support system and I am learning to lean on them for the most part but it’s just not the same. I have a really good mother in law that makes things easier but it’s not my mother. I just want to know how do I continue to navigate through my life without her. Thank you for reading if you did.
