Come Closer Mother Dear
Drawing closer to a mother, alive or deceased, involves intentional connection through communication, shared memories, honoring their legacy, and nurturing a spiritual or emotional bond. Talking to them, journaling, cherishing their belongings, engaging in their favorite activities, or finding comfort in nature and signs. These are things I have learned along the way, and I hope these suggestions will draw you closer to your mother. To focus on her unconditional love, enduring strength, and nurturing spirit, often highlighting her role as a guiding light, protector, and a “many-spendored miracle” of divine devotion.
For a deceased mother:
* Talk to her; Speak out loud to her, sharing your day, feelings, or milestones, as if she were still there.
* Create rituals: Burn a candle, write letters to her, or visit her favorite places to feel her presence.
* Keep memorials alive: Look at photos, listen to music she loved, or cook her favorite recipes.
* Acknowledge signs: Remain open to signs like meaningful songs, specific birds, or objects in nature.
* Honor her legacy: Perform acts of kindness or charity in her name., or adopt her values in your daily life.
* Connect with others: Talk to friends and family who knew her to share stories and learn new things about her.
For a living mother:
* Active communication: Regular heartfelt conversations-calls, visits, letters) that go beyond daliy logistics to discuss feelings and memories.
* Spend quality time: Engage in shared activities, such as looking through old family photo albums or visiting places from your childhood.
* Show appreciation: Express love directly and actively listen to her stories and advice.
* Physical tokens: Keep photos or items that remind you of her, or share a tangible , meaningful item with her.
Shared Methods(applicable to both):
* Journaling: Write down memories, questions, or things you want to say to her.
*Meditation: Visualize her, especially focusing on her smile or eyes, to feel a sense of peace and connection.
The deceased let us dream. It is one of the most beautiful forms of love that surrounds the living. It forces us to change the course of our actions and encourages us to break old, destructive habits. When we are ready, they often visit us to help us understand things more deeply. May we celebrate every day, a mother as an irreplaceable treasure, honoring their sacrifice, warmth, and lifelong influence.
Blessings dear friends,
