One of the hardest parts about my pregnancy journey wasnāt the extreme morning sickness, it was going through it all without my mum. I ached for her support and comfort, and longed for the answers to the millions of questions I had for her.
Since becoming a mother part of me thought it would replace that missing mother daughter relationship, but it has only made me grieve more for her. Knowing she will never meet her granddaughter in this life and Airlie never getting to receive the unconditional love from her nana. Also once again not having the support from your mother when you become a new mum and be able to ask all those questions about your own childhood it really sucks.
The universe though has its ways to guide us and teach us many lessons in this life.
Airlie was sent to me after 2 miscarriages and born a Virgo like my mum āØš
Although it was a rough time, It gives my heart a little hug knowing they have that astrological connection and she was born with this timing for a reason.
I know Iām not the only motherless mother out there, I am one of many. I see you & my heart goes out to you all. Even though itās extremely hard without them, there is something really special about showing your little one all the things that our mothers taught us, passing on traditions and keeping their memory alive.
Motherās day was created by a grieving daughter and as it nears I will be holding my mum in my heart as well as celebrating my journey from maiden to mother.
