Juliana Harkavy Instagram – Last night, on Mother’s Day Eve, we got another negative pregnancy test. By now I know not to let it get to my heart. I try to remind myself that the reality of our current struggle is temporary. That it’s all temporary. But there are times I just need to allow the grief to come stay a while. Mother’s Day is one of those times. On Mother’s Day I often feel both like a motherless child and a childless mother. A bit odd since my mother is still alive, but we don’t have a relationship at this time. (PS: I strongly recommend we start healing our own generational trauma before having children of our own- it just makes things so much happier and healthier.) Lately to heal my mother wound, I’ve been doing a deep dive into self-mothering. Tending to my inner child on a moment to moment basis. Listening to her. Providing for her. Putting her needs before my wants. I’ve been expressing gratitude for the High Grand-mothers: Mother Earth, the universe, the unconditional and eternal providers. Also, leaning into the mothers in my life- family and friends who feel like surrogate mothers, guides, healers, and nurturers. No matter how present or positive our relationship with our mothers, we have access to an endless source of maternal energy. We are forever held, protected, and loved. So to all, Happy Mother’s Day. ✨🫶🏽✨ #vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #motherwound #motherwoundhealing #motherhood #innerchildwork #innerchildhealing #infertility #fertilityjourney #fertilitysupport #childlessmothersday #motherlesschild #npdsurvivor #npdsupport #selfmothering #begentlewithyourself #vulnerableshare #sadonmothersday #therapy #mothersdaytalk #inmyfeelings #fertilitywarrior #infertilitysupport #openup #selfcare #alwaysloved #mentalhealth #mentalhealthsupport #happinessisaninsidejob #motherslove
