This year marks my 28th Mother’s Day since my mother died. Each passing year feels slightly different than the last one. I won’t say it’s gotten easier through the years. I don’t think that’s the right word for it. But I will say time has brought acceptance and helped me to reimagine Mother’s Day for myself.
