Mother’s Day after losing the love of your life feels painful and lonely especially since so much joy in motherhood was tied to sharing that life experience with jeff. On the same token the flip side is that becoming a mom with jeff was the absolute highlight of my life. Khyber brings me so much joy. Although the grief sits with me in every breath I take, I feel so incredibly gifted that we have had khyber enter our lives end and I see so much of jeff in him every single day. Motherhood, deep heartbreak and gratitude exist side by side. Today I’m thinking of all the moms out there carrying love, loss, exhaustion, beauty, and resilience all at once. ❤️❤️❤️
