Embracing Womanhood: Healing Mother’s Day Heartache
Mother’s Day can be a dagger-filled time for many. Healing our Mother’s Day heartache and learning to embrace our womanhood can seem impossible. Some women who long for children wonder why their hopes are unfulfilled. For others, the joy of having children is haunted by guilt for not measuring up to a mythical standard. And for some, never knowing their own mother’s love leaves a hole that is hard to fill. I have found comfort in the truth that motherhood is really about womanhood. It’s not about bearing children so much as it is about nurturing and lifting others while being true to ourselves and to God. It’s about tapping into and living up to the divine potential within us. Embracing the beauty of our womanhood can heal the broken places in our hearts. Our lives can be filled with the light, love, and joy we crave. May we all embrace our worth and find joy in celebrating the light of womanhood.
