This hit home. Not only in the ways we expect motherhood to be, to care for us, but in terms of the ways we, as women, are called to hold things together and provide collective care. Great piece; looking forward to more.
Thank you so much Kelly. That tension—between being held and being the one who holds—is exactly what I was wrestling with. I’m grateful it resonated with you. More soon.
I enjoyed reading this so much. Thank you. And it makes me think about the ways we mother and allow ourselves to be mothered. And the ways we seek to fill this fundamental need when access to our known source of mothering is unavailable.

Thank you so much Emily. Mothering is certainly a core need, and getting it filled is a real struggle for so many.
