Every sister will be at a different stage with her mother’s wound. For some, it may be a feeling of deep anger and resentment towards your mother. That is the first layer of awareness. You are recalling the wound at its core.
For others, it is a feeling of deep sadness and grief. A feeling of loosing the mother they wish they had or wanted. This is the second layer of awareness. You are honoring the loss of what could have been. The longing and waiting for the mother you always wanted. Realizing that emptiness inside is waiting for love to fill and heal your heart.

No longer looking for the approval of your mother. Rather, honoring her for who she is and what she is capable of offering your relationship. Internal peace is a layer that takes daily practice and self-love.
