Navigating difficult emotions on Mother's Day

Mother's Day can be difficult for those experiencing grief or complicated maternal relationships. Author Rebecca Soffer offers coping strategies for navigating these challenging emotions. Soffer suggests finding a "grief buddy" for support, acknowledging that grief is non-linear, and considering therapy. She emphasizes self-compassion during this time. The advice comes from Soffer's experience and her book, "The Modern Loss Handbook," which provides further guidance on managing grief milestones and finding therapeutic support.
