You avoid going to the grocery store for the fear of crying in public or are embarrassed to let others see you this way.

Grief and Mother’s Day 2021

If I were to count the Mother’s Day without my daughter, it is 30 and without my son it is three. Counting Mother’s Day without them however does not make me feel better.
