Michelle Hord Has a Message for Anyone Grieving This Mother's Day
S — Survive. Do what you need to do to get through the day. Be kind to yourself and honest with others about what you need. There are no rules. Do what works for you.
R — Reflect. Yes. You wish you could just fast forward past today. But remind yourself how strong you are…what you've already survived…. how you have coped with this loss and perhaps other losses in your life. That warrior in you is still there…cheering you on…even on the hardest days. Days like Mother's Day are the hardest. Yet, I am grateful. I am grateful that I experienced the security and confidence of a mother's love and had the privilege to share that with my own little girl. I am grateful for the signs you send me, both nuanced and overt, that affirm my soul's most sincere belief: You are so very close although just beyond my grasp.
