There is an unspoken rule that if you lost your mom, Mother's Day is supposed to hurt. And if it doesn't, something must be wrong with you.
In this diary entry, Gabri talks about the guilt of having a good day when you were supposed to be falling apart. Grief doesn't show up on a schedule. It doesn't hit harder just because the calendar says it should. And not being sad on Mother's Day doesn't mean you didn't love her.
Whatever shows up for you on Mother's Day is allowed.
