1. I know this weekend is difficult for those of you whose moms have passed away.

I also know this weekend is painful for those of you who have decided that it& #39;s not healthy to have a relationship with your mom.

Just wanted to let you know I& #39;m thinking of you.

2. One of the reasons this weekend is particularly difficult for those who have, for various reasons, decided to not have a relationship with their mom, is how many people urge them to reconcile without understanding why they decided to get some space.

3. I have so many friends who have been pressured by friends to "put the past aside." Some friends have caved to that pressure & regretted it because their moms quickly reminded them why they walked away.

Please don& #39;t place this pressure on people. It& #39;s none of your business.

4. I also wish people would rethink all of this blanket "CALL YOUR MOM," stuff on Mother& #39;s Day.

People who wish to call their moms will call their moms!

5. I’m also thinking of those of you who have suffered the ultimate heartbreak: the passing of your child. Especially those of you who lost your only child.

And those of you who wish to be mothers but are unable to for various reasons .

I’m so sorry.
