https://www.yahoo.com/gma/dear-fellow-motherless-daughters-heres-095400614.html The other day, someone who'd just met me asked what I'd be doing with my mother this Sunday. It was such a jolting question to come from someone who didn't even know my name, but I saw her apology, and her inability to understand that not everyone has a living parent to celebrate with, … Continue reading Dear fellow motherless daughters: Here’s how I’ve learned to cope on Mother’s Day

Late-March into May is a difficult time for me. It's when my e-mail accounts (personal and professional) slowly become flooded with Mother's Day prompts. Last year, I deleted roughly sixty companies from my regular list because it was obnoxious and triggering. I wish I'd deleted more. This year, I almost certainly will do my best … Continue reading Personal Public Service Announcement: Mother’s Day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0Ivv6UzjXY&feature=youtu.be I lost my Mom eight years ago, a week after Mother's Day. I spent years dealing with people's attitudes towards the fact that I was there for my Mom through degenerative disc disease and all that came with it health-wise.

I was incredibly blessed with a mother who was my best friend. I think I required less parenting because I was "born ancient". Every year without her is incredibly painful to me. No one could ever fill the role she played in my life, fostering my talents with honesty and care. It is because of … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day

I went to bed exhausted, I woke up more exhausted than when I originally went to bed. Lately, there never seems to be enough sleep. I found myself wanting to nod off for four hours yesterday, but when I finally committed myself to "a nap", I ended up reading for over three hours. I hadn't … Continue reading Exhausted To The Bone
