Acknowledge Mother's Day if your mom is no longer here. Do the same for friends who have lost mothers and even children. Ignoring it might sting even more.
Kristin Clark Taylor's mother, Mary Elizabeth Clark, in an undated photo. By Kristin Clark Taylor May 11 at 8:00 AM If you’re like me and your mom is no longer alive, consider this comforting concept: The words “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom” still belong to you. Go ahead and say them.
A Detroit Free Press article about Mary Elizabeth Clark, who graduated from Wayne State University in 1961. Yes, she was extraordinary — but buried beneath lay the pleasingly ordinary traits that captured her true character: kindness, grace, dignity, compassion and humility. Always humility. No matter where you are today on the “separation scale” with your mom, and no matter how your heart feels about facing this day without her, try to remember that sadness shouldn’t always get to take up every inch on your emotional shelf. You can decide to feel another way.
Pick up her pic: See that framed photo of your mom on the wall or on your desk or sitting on the sideboard? Pick it up and hold it. Take a good, long look. Smile if you want to. Cry if you need to. Listen to others: Other people are missing their moms today, too. Give them voice. Invite someone you know to share the living memories of their mom. Ask them good questions. Then listen carefully while they speak.
