Feeling Mothers Day "ish"

Planning a wedding while being surrounded by all things "Mothers Day-ish." Quite the combo. 

Flowers, cards, chocolates -- all things "mother" infiltrate society. It's the time of year where every compensating effort is overshadowed by a marketing image of a mother and daughter laughing gregariously together. As if that were the norm for every woman in the world.

So how do we cope on this day? What do we do or tell ourselves to make it meaningful instead of cringing inside?  

Just read an inspirational article by a woman who shares how she's learned to somewhat embrace the things the day can represent.

Mother's Day and losing my mom are one in the same. She died the Friday after Mother's Day ... suiting. Ha. I just go numb.
