Mourning is natural during this time, which is the anniversary of your mother's passing. Your grief carries the seeds of transformation. What your mother was to you, can now become a part of you. And the fact that you grieve her loss means she was a woman of great value to the person that you are today. Mourning her can help you transform her memory into a daily piece of your soul.
Mothers are the initial link to life.
And their passing can bring up feelings of rootlessness and vast emptiness. Particularly during the Christmas holiday because it is a time of family focus, childhood memories and appreciation for those we love. Light a candle for your mother on Christmas eve. Perhaps each family member can share a story about her life and how she touched each one of you. Give her spirit a rightful place in your family's ongoing history.
