Have you ever wondered why you can understand your stress but still feel it in your bones? Maybe you tell yourself, I’m fine, but your body keeps clenching your jaw or tightening your chest. Maybe your mind says, Just relax, but your heart races, your breath feels shallow, and you can’t seem to settle. You are not broken. You are having a very human response to overwhelm.

Mother’s Day can be a painful reminder of the mother or mother-like figure you’ve lost. Whether your grief is fresh or decades old, this time of year can stir deep emotions. At Creating Space Therapy, we believe grief has no timeline. This blog offers gentle validation and three meaningful ways to honor your grief—through quiet reflection, creative expression, or tangible action. However you choose to remember, know that your grief deserves space and care.
