Grief as a Ritual: Reclaiming Your Motherhood Story
Becoming a mother can be an initiation into an unfamiliar world; feelings like a loss of self and grief for one's former life may go unrecognized.
Motherhood can often be a challenging transition and it’s important to recognize the grief that can accompany it. Feeling grief when becoming a mother is not uncommon or unusual. It is normal to feel overwhelmed by the shift in identity and lifestyle that can come with this type of change. That is why it is important to take time to sit with those uneasy feelings, ground yourself in the present moment and seek out resources that can provide validating support.
In this episode, I will share with you a grief ritual that has allowed me to navigate these feelings of overwhelm, uncertainty, and frustration, and turn them into a powerful elixir of change & new possibilities.
When you become a mother change is inevitable, but this change doesn’t have to break you, it can be a path to a new identity, a new way of being, and a journey deep into the truth of who you are.
I hope this episode leaves you feeling seen. Becoming a mother doesn’t have to be an isolating journey—we can create communities with other mothers and parents who also understand these emotions and can provide meaningful connections along the way.
