A mother is not defined by the number of children you can see, but by the love she holds in her heart. - Franechesea Cox

It's okay..
You'll be okay.
Maybe not now but one day you will.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing your best already.

Maybe you're feeling so overwhelmed and exhausted. Maybe you feel like giving up everything all at once because you just had enough..

But you're stronger than this.
I believe in you.

that feeling when you're trying so hard to keep it together and not show how much it hurts, while the constant breakdowns are literally killing you inside. it's like you're screaming for help but no one can hear you

On this day, 45 years ago. I gave birth to my middle son, Jeremy Paul Karrer @6:23am. 8 Lbs. 5 ozs. 21 inches. It was one of the happiest days of my life. On Jan. 7, 1987. Our beloved son died at the age of 6 after being hit by a car. It was one of the worst days in my life. No parent should ever have to live that nightmare.

Today,
I visited you in a memory

I remember the sound of your laughter, and your smile that could light up a dark room

The way your eyes could shine, your warm embrace and the scent of your body

I remember everything

I look up to the sky and can almost hear your voice whispering in my ear
I could feel your presence all around me

I know that you’re watching over me from above

I’m grateful for the time we had together
and for the memories we made

So today as I visited you in a memory, I smiled through my tears , knowing that you’re still a part of me , and that nothing can take that away

Until we meet again …

❤

The Courage to Be Myself

I have the courage to…

Embrace my strengths ~ Get excited about life ~ Enjoy giving and receiving love ~ Face and transform my fears ~ Ask for help and support when I need it ~ Spring free of the Superwoman trap ~ Trust myself ~ Make my own decisions and choices ~ Befriend myself ~ Complete unfinished business ~ Realize that I have emotional and practical rights ~ Talk as nicely to myself as I do to my plants and pets ~ Communicate lovingly with understanding as my goal ~ Honor my own needs ~ Give myself credit for my accomplishments ~ Love the little girl within me ~ Overcome my addiction to approval ~ Grant myself permission to play ~ Quit being a responsibility sponge ~ Feel all of my feelings and act on them appropriately ~ Nurture others because I want to, not because I have to ~ Choose what is right for me ~ Insist on being paid fairly for what I do ~ Set limits and boundaries and stick by them ~ Say ‘yes’ only when I really mean it ~ Have realistic expectations ~ Take risks and accept change ~ Grow through challenges ~ Be totally honest with myself ~ Transform erroneous beliefs and assumptions ~ Respect my vulnerabilities ~ Heal old and current wounds ~ Savor the mystery of Spirit ~ Wave goodbye to guilt ~ Plant “flower” not “weed” thoughts in my mind ~ Treat myself with respect and teach others to do the same ~ Fill my own cup first, then nourish others from the overflow ~ Own my own excellence ~ Plan for the future but live in the present ~ Value my intuition and wisdom ~ Know I am lovable ~ Celebrate the differences between men and women ~ Develop healthy, supportive relationships ~ Make forgiveness a priority ~ Accept myself as I am now.

When you wake up each morning trying to find a purpose to get up after you have lost a child, is very hard. Each one of us looks at life in a different way. Some moms will get up with tears streaming down their face, some will have a smile as they think about going out to share about their child, or thinking about a happy memory. We all find a way and survive another day without our child. Each day comes and goes… the sun rises and the sun sets always with our precious child in our heart. ♥️

I Tried to Hold You....

I tried to hold you, but you slipped through my grasp,
Like a whisper in the wind, too fleeting to last.
I fought against the tides, desperate to keep you near,
But life had other plans, and now, you're not here.

I couldn't stop the clock, no matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't change the story, no matter how much I cried.
The weight of what I couldn't do still sits within my soul,
A reminder of love so deep, yet beyond my control.

If love alone could build a bridge, you'd be right by my side,
If love alone could heal the ache, I'd never have to hide.
But now I carry your memory, a piece of you in me,
An eternal bond that time nor loss can ever set free.

You are the quiet in the storm, the stillness in my day,
The gentle nudge reminding me love never goes away.
Though I couldn't save you, and the ache still remains,
I’ll honor your light, even through the pain.

Grief doesn’t ask permission, it just settles in our chest,
But love gives us courage to find moments of rest.
For in every tear that falls, your presence softly stays,
Guiding me gently through these endless days.

Instead of saying, "I know what it feels like", let's say "I cannot imagine your heartbreak".
Instead of saying, "You're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " You'll hurt, and I'll be here.
Instead of saying, "You look like you're doing well, Let's say, "How are you holding up today?"
Instead of saying, "Healing takes time", let's say "Healing has no timeline".
Instead of saying, "Everything happens for a reason, let's say "This must feel so terribly senseless right now".
And when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. Love speaks in silences too.

I'M STILL YOUR MOM
When you no longer listen or care what I say.
I'm still your Mom.
When you decide I'm old fashioned and want to go your own way.
I'm still your Mom.
When you talk back, complain and argue.
I'm still your Mom.
When you move away and take a piece of my heart with you.
I'm still your Mom.
And I will love you still as much as the first day I held you in my arms.
I'm still your Mom.
And I will pray for you and make sure your wings are strong enough to soar.
I'm still your Mom.
And I'll want what's best and will sacrifice my plans for yours.
I'm still your Mom.
I'll always have room for you and a hug to welcome you.
I'm still your Mom.
And until my last breath, I'll keep carrying your love with me. And I will thank God every day for the privilege and Joy it's been to be called --- your mom.
