Healing Guilt from the Mother-Child Relationship Self-Care For The Soul
-
- Espiritualidad
Inherent in every mother-child relationship is guilt. As a parent, we worry if we did what was needed to give our children the best chance at living a successful and fulfilling life. As a child, we wonder if we did enough to make our parents proud and give them fulfillment as parents.
When I was 24 years old, my mother passed away from cancer. I was a gifted child with enormous potential, yet I had wild rebellious streak. I know I fell short of her hopes and dreams for me, and I caused her heartache and grief in the process. When she became ill, I blamed myself for making her life so difficult. I was sure I had played a significant role in causing her illness.
Years later, I heard one of my spiritual teachers speak of the Mother’s Guilt – a pain that every mother carries, always wondering if she did the right things for her children, or if she could have done better.
The struggle goes both ways. This Sunday is Mother’s Day in the US, a perfect day to bring some gentle loving kindness and healing to these places of guilt for both mother and child, to release the patterns of guilt in the Mother-Child relationship.
Listen to this episode for a compassionate, heart-centered healing opportunity.
