take in the beauty of nature. Not only will this give you some time for reflection, but also some time to reconnect with nature and yourself without distractions.
7. Write a letter to your mom.
Take some time to write a letter to your mom. Tell her all of the new things that have been going on in your life. Share with her how much you miss her and appreciate everything she has done for you.
If you become emotional while writing this letter, it’s ok to release those feelings. It will feel cathartic to get how you are feeling down on paper.
You can then choose to do what you like with the letter. You can keep it, release it, or save it and re-read it on a future Mother’s Day.
8. Do something that you enjoy on Mother’s Day.
If you want to grieve your mom’s passing, this is fine.
If you want to pamper yourself with something you enjoy doing like a spa treatment, a meal at a favorite restaurant, or something of that nature, go ahead and do what makes you happy.
Your mom would understand that you miss and love her, but taking care of yourself will make you happier, which is every mom’s goal for her child.
Your mom may not be with you physically, but she will always be active in your memories and heart. Taking time to honor and celebrate your mom will help you grieve for her in a respectful and loving way. Your mom would love the fact that you are doing exactly that for her!
