How resonant. The beauty and grief that comes with Mothering our babies as we Mother ourselves. Intertwined with postpartum healing and the lack of communal support. It’s a lot to hold. I’m in a state of constant dialogue with God as well. With tears streaming down my cheeks. A heart full of break and gratitude.
Thank you Xenia. Thank you for affirming me and speaking prayers over all of the mothers in us. The dialogue with God is constant because our desire to be kinder, softer, more loving doesn’t end. I appreciate feeling not alone in this. I love you and thank you for being here.
I remember growing up and constantly thinking I’d never treat my child the way my mother did or I’d never do the things my mother did. Then I became a mother and it is so easy to be pulled in to the same cycles when you’re hurting and in pain and there is someone requiring so much from you. Thank you for sharing this. I think your ability to be so vulnerable sets you apart from the example you grew up with. Thank you for putting words to a feel I know well and I’m sure other mothers do too.
FELT. All the time I hear my mother in me and I remember how much I hated it as a child, but can’t help myself and continue to do the same to my own. All I can do is continue to ask God for forgiveness, patience, and most of all ask Him to continuously work on my heart. Thank you for sharing! Just the acknowledgment alone shows that you’re an amazing mother who cares deeply for her children and the impact you have on them. They’re lucky to have you🙏🏽
All the feels. Parenthood is a work in progress. God is not finish with us yet.
Whew. The way parenthood grows us. Amen. Amen.
