This coming Sunday, mothers across the country will be honoured with brunches, gifts, phone calls and cards. Some will be lovingly remembered with flowers placed at their grave. Today, however, my thoughts turn to all the invisible mothers in my midst. The mother whose first and only child was born with serious health issues, to which he succumbed four months later. The woman whose mothering experience consisted of giving birth to a baby, then placing her for adoption, without any further contact. The mother of one who raised her child to his late teens, only to have him die before her. For these, and the many other invisible mothers, there will be no celebration. Instead, the day will hold sadness, what-ifs, and likely, pain. This Mother's Day, let us send them our love, and hope that their friends and family take the time to acknowledge them, as well. It will not change their circumstances but it may help heal these mother's hearts . Image: Shutterstock www.diaryofanintuitive.com

I began this blog on Feb 8/11 at the urging of my paternal grandmother's spirit. The motivation behind writing daily posts was the desire to share personal intuitive, spiritual, and metaphysical experiences. Exactly four weeks after publishing the first post entitled "It's Just a Life", my son and his girlfriend died in a fatal car accident. I have been married to my best friend for 42 years, am the mother of three children, and grandmother of two.
