Most people don’t realize how painful Mother’s Day can be for those struggling with infertility and loss.
If that woman is you, you are allowed to do whatever you need to do to make it through this Mother’s Day.
Taking care of yourself becomes essential as you try to work through the grief and loss that has overtaken your journey to motherhood.
But on this day especially, take care of you.
You have permission to opt out of all the Mother’s Day messaging today and avoid people who may not understand what you’re going through and not be sensitive to your feelings today.
Do whatever brings you comfort. Binge on your fave ice cream. Enjoy a nice bottle of wine. Take in a Netflix movie. Spoil yourself. Or just rest and go to bed early.
Shut out the rest of the world and practice a little self-care.
And know that you are not alone in needing to do so.
Finally, here is my fave inspirational song and video from gospel artist Yolanda Adams with a great message.
