As a mother, one of the hardest things to learn is this:
Love is not always removing pain.
Sometimes, love is holding space for someone while they experience it.
I used to think caring meant fixing, protecting, and preventing discomfort for the people I love.
But motherhood and life taught me this:
When we constantly "rescue" people from difficult emotions, failures, or consequences, we may also be taking away their opportunity to grow.
This applies to our partners, our friends, our family… and our children.
Our role is not to control their journey. Our role is to become the calm, steady presence that reminds them:
“You can feel this.”
“You've got this.”
“You will be okay.”
Big feelings aren't to be eliminated. They're to be cared for. 🤍
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers learning to love with both tenderness and courage.
