My mom is probably the strongest woman I know. She survived many things including her own childhood. Her mother left them different places where things happened to my mom and her brothers that should never happen to children.
Then one day her mother never came back and she hasn’t seen her since. Her father committed suicide and my mother was raised by her grandmother who was already an old woman. Her first marriage ended and the. She arrived my father who she will tell you was the love of her life.
His death almost killed her. My relationship with my mother has been stressed at best. She didn’t like my choice if husband or that I have state with him through everything but we have been working in it.
She came back home with the kids yesterday and told me it was time to get up. She said she knows it hurts (she had three miscarriages and one stillborn) but if I wallow I will never recover. I have children who need me and don’t understand. So for me to get up, get dressed, and my children the Christmas they deserve.
That is how she is, throws no punches and tells it like it is. She reminded of my father a little though. There was once when I first started working and was upset. He told me to suck it up and go back in there.
They both are right, life happens and I can either go with it let it destroy me. Time to suck it up and live.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

The women somo certainly very strong and took the courage to fight for God is the Fortalese us and helps us to continue moving forward for our family!
Sometimes having someone in our life that doesn’t hold back and tells it like it is, is just what we need. To have people tiptoe around because they don’t want to upset you can be good, but also doesn’t force you to face the day. I hope that things get better going forward.
Sometimes tough advice is the best advice. I do think your mom’s advice is good advice. Your kids to need you. I am sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had one before I had my son and it was a tough experience. I pray the new year brings you many blessings.
I think she is just what you need right now. Hope everything gets better. Just work on it one day at a time.
Your mother’s advice is very good in my opinion. When we lost our daughter at 4 1/2 months I didn’t think I could go on. It was so tough. So I understand your pain. The best thing I did was just start going through the motions. Then eventually it would get easier everyday. You will never forget, but you learn to live with the loss and see all your other blessings. I pray that you can heal and that you do what is best for you. Take care!
Yes, life is rough and hearing an encouraging word is sometimes what you need. Giving up isn’t an option, especially when there is other responsibilities. As I’m typing this, I’m saying this to myself and taking it in. I hope you are doing better these days. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

It sounds like your mom is made of steel.
May god be with you and your family. Turn it over to him and he will see ypu through.
