GRIEVING & MOTHERING

If you’re grieving while mothering, you are doing more than enough. You are holding space for someone else, even while your own heart aches. You’re sitting in raw emotion, sometimes hiding it, sometimes naming it out loud, sometimes letting your child know: “I feel sad too.” And if that feels right there’s healing in that honesty.

This rollercoaster appears to be part of the process, but so is rest. So is showing up imperfectly. You are carrying double the love, and double the loss and still trying. Still loving. Still standing.

From one griever who is mothering to another: I see you...You are not alone.

Today, my sister would have turned 27.

H.A.P.P.Y B.I.R.T.H.D.A.Y K.E.N.N.E.D.I 🎉🌻🕊️🍓

To honour her, I wrote 27 things about her things she said, did, loved, wore, laughed at. These aren’t just memories; they’re proof of who she was. That she lived, laughed, inspired us, had favourite songs, and loved those around her. They are all part of her story.

Kennedi was a big birthday person in fact, we both are. In some ways, that’s why today feels even harder than the anniversary of her death. I can’t quite pinpoint why, and maybe I don’t need to. I just know I feel it deeply, wholeheartedly.

I didn’t want to grieve her today I wanted to celebrate her. But the truth is, it’s hard to celebrate knowing the only reason she isn’t here is because of someone else’s actions. And yet, I think of her of all the silly things she would say to me and I dig deep for some gratitude. Gratitude that I’m the eldest sibling, and that I had 25 years to see her grow.

Grief, especially sibling grief, can feel invisible. We lose not only the person, but the shared childhood, the inside jokes, the future plans.

But writing this list brought moments of joy. It made me feel close to her again if even for a moment.

a sibling is a unique kind of heartache, quiet, deep, and lasting. This , is for anyone carrying that kind of love and loss.

If these words resonate with you, share them with someone who might need them too.

Grief will show up, in unexpected moments, in familiar places, and in the quiet spaces of your heart. Let it come, let it be felt, and know that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.

Grief is undoubtedly a journey of learning, one that none of us choose, yet many are forced to walk. It’s a path of pain, growth, and deep reflection, teaching us lessons we never expected. With time, we learn to carry our loss, honor our love, and find moments of light in the darkness.

Don’t feel guilty for acknowledging you’re limits and/or setting clear boundaries. Establishing boundaries is healthy and necessary for maintaining your personal space and emotional health.
