MOTHER'S DAY WITHOUT YOU by Becky Hemsley 2024


"MOTHER'S DAY WITHOUT YOU"
by Becky Hemsley 2024

Mother’s Day without your mum
is to be painfully reminded of the scar across your soul.
The scar that sits where a part of you is missing.
Because when she left, something within you broke and left too.
You were part of her and she was part of you.
But this means that whilst a piece of you left with her,
precious pieces of her also stayed behind with you.
And if you look for her, you will see her. Everywhere.
In the way your nose crinkles when you smile.
In the sound of your voice when you laugh.
In the way you treasure those you love.
In the way you share your passions.
In your kindness.
So, though your mother may not walk beside you on this Earth right now, know that she is still here.
She lives on. In you.
Because love lives on.
You are still part of her and she is still part of you.
She is still your mother and you are still her child.
And that scar is a reminder of what it is to love and be loved. It is a reminder that the legacy of great love is great grief.
Yet grief is hard.
So when it feels almost impossibly painful,
you must love yourself harder still.
You must give yourself great love.
Just the way your mother
always did.
