Healing Mother Hunger is a nonlinear, fluid process. No timeline can reveal the necessary effort or schedule that will yield the best results. However, what I have found very helpful is to let go of the idea of a finish line. You don’t need this pressure. Like an apology ache, seeking closure is longing for a fantasy. Even when you use all the tools and your life starts looking up, there will be days when grief finds you again—like on Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a particularly dreadful day for so many adult daughters.
