Took some time today to reflect on grief, my evolution into motherhood, and holding our emotions with mindful awareness. Link in my bio, give it a read. “You cannot manage emotions you are denying exist, and if we continue to ignore or dismiss that grief is a central, normal part of the parenting experience we are denying ourselves access to our full humanity. We are keeping ourselves small by hiding from things we have been told are full of darkness, when in reality, acknowledging grief is how we let the light in.”
