Grieving Life Plans
In today's episode, I'm getting really personal with you about something I posted in my stories a couple weeks ago that so many of you messaged me about - the quiet grief of motherhood that nobody really prepares you for. I'm turning 40 this year, and as I'm standing on the edge of this new decade, I'm watching my youngest about to lose his first tooth and realizing that every one of his firsts is also a last. With my daughter, all her firsts felt like excitement and magic. But with my son, they feel like grief - this is the last time I'll watch a first tooth fall out, the last time I'll see those chubby toddler hands. And it's bringing up all these questions I've been processing quietly (and not so quietly with my husband) about whether I made the right choice being done at two kids. Did I make a permanent decision based on a temporary season of overwhelm? Did I close the door too soon on something God had for me? I'm also grieving my birth experiences - neither went the way I wanted, and I think part of me has been carrying this longing for healing and closure around that. But here's what I keep coming back to: if I kept making decisions based on grieving them getting older, we'd never stop having babies. Grief in motherhood doesn't mean something is missing - it means something mattered. So if you've ever sat in that quiet wondering of "did I make the right choice?" or "did I miss something?" - you're not alone. We're talking about how to sit with grief without rushing to fix it, why not every emotion is an instruction, and what it looks like to give yourself compassion instead of questioning every decision you made when you were exhausted and doing your best. Let's dive in!
