Mother's Day weekend hit me hard. The grief of Mother's Day can't be felt without thinking about 아빠. But there's so much grief with 엄마, too, because 아빠 died. The whole family structure shifted when 아빠 died — the relationship I had with my mom changed after he died. We got her a dozen red roses and a cake — now it's up to Greg and me to carry out the Mother's Day traditions that 아빠 used to do for my mom. I'm proud of myself for processing and alchemizing my grief though writing and sending out a newsletter. I'm proud of myself for giving myself the space to have a complicated Mother's Day.
