The birth/death of Liam Andrew — my stillborn son who would have turned twenty-nine today — occurred three days before Mother’s Day. And my mother had passed away two years before that.
I still remember how the combination of shock, grief, and hormonal changes left me feeling completely dazed and confused as I negotiated those first days. And Mother’s Day cards had me reeling.
After all, I no longer had a mother and all of a sudden I wasn’t going to be a mother either. It was a very surreal time.
Twenty-nine years later the grief and the wounds have healed. But there’s always a few moments in the lead-up to Mother’s Day when I have to pause and reflect and give thanks for my mother and for the experience of being Liam’s mother for even a short while.
Thank you for sharing about Liam, your mother and your experience Bhagavati. You are an incredibly strong, brave and loving soul. May you feel Divine Mother’s ever-present unconditional love for you in your heart always 🕉️💜💕🙌🙏🤗😍🥰
Bhagavati, Thank you for sharing your personal story of love, loss and grief. I agree completely with Suzanne: you are a very strong, brave and loving soul. Liam Andrew chose you as his mother because of who you are. As a strong devotee, you have probably
helped his soul move forward on his journey to God. This does not take away your loss but perhaps might help you to know you were still a great mother to him before his early transition. Happy Mother’s Day! Happy Divine Mother’s Day! 🙏🏻🕉️🥰
