When this happens it can also be like ripping away the value of the time we spent as mothers. We finally come to realize that we must make peace with ourselves and at the very least, respect the effort and treasure the moments. During some very difficult times with my own children I discovered how many thousands of mothers are dealing with similar heartaches. Whatever your heart holds can be healed. Know and believe in that wonderful reality.
Wisdom grows from experience for everyone.
Women share their most intimate feelings with each other, and are terrific at giving each other the comfort and clarity which can be quite lost to us in the midst of our tears or fears. These stories are from women who want to share what's happened to them and also the things that have helped them cope with their anguish. More than many have gone on with life to flourish and grow. Please share your own stories of being a mother. Share the love, the tears, joys, regrets, poems, hopes, successes and happy endings in the guestbook.
