Midi, the care women deserve.

Hi there, ladies.

Welcome back to The Tamsen Show.

So Mother's Day is this weekend, and it made me think that we should talk about it for a little bit before it actually gets here.

So I know that for a lot of women, Sunday is not a simple day, myself included.

The world makes it look like it should be.

There's brunches, there's flowers, there's cards, there's posts everywhere of women with their moms calling them their best friends.

If that is not your reality, if your mom is gone or if your relationship with her is painful or complicated or non-existent,

you can feel incredibly alone in the middle of all this.

Like everyone else got something that you didn't.

So I really felt it was important to talk about this.

And we've talked a lot about moms and we've talked about grief on this show, but I just felt like with Mother's Day around the corner, sometimes I don't sit with it all the time and I just try to get through it and not think about it.

But I don't know, this year, maybe I'm getting older, I don't know.

So I lost my mom when I was 20.

And there are women listening to this right now whose mother is alive, but who grieve her just as much as I grieve mine who's gone because maybe she was never really there or because a relationship caused more hurt than it ever gave comfort.
