Dear Bereaved Mother on Mother’s Day

This Mother's Day and every Mother's Day in the future may not be how you imagined it. It may not look like other people's. It may not feel warm and fuzzy. You may not feel strong enough to grace the day with a smile. You may not want to partake in any form of celebration.
