Mental Health Week: Mindfulness | Ottawa Public Library The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Mental Health Week at the beginning of May takes on a particular significance this year. There is not one of us who is not themselves or does not know someone going through mental health challenges. Ottawa Public Library is kicking off a series of free onli...

Womxn are so tired of hearing this. Literally tired of + from it.

It is EXHAUSTING for womxn to feel the pain of loss + anger around their birth experience, to have those emotions prevalent in their bodies, to deal with the physical, hormonal, emotional and spiritual after effects of a traumatic journey, to have 1000 questions + no answers or only be given emotionally unavailable ones.

It’s exhausting for mothers to hear this statement projected onto them + then try to integrate it within themselves as their own truth because they would be ‘selfish’, ‘ungrateful’ not to.

‘All that matters is that the baby is healthy’ is an old paradigm answer that does not pay attention to the manner in which a Rite of Passage was walked.
It belongs to humanity who were taught not to make a fuss + be grateful for what they have with no recognition of what they feel they have lost. It leaves no room for the full spectrum of feelings that accompany healing.

The consequence of being raised in such a way is a society who feel unequipped to deal with the grieving heart.

Too nervous to look a person in the eye + listen to all the twisted tales,
all the gnarly details,
to sit on a sofa opposite a raging womxn, saying nothing, as she cries hot tears from the trenches + pieces together her story along with a fractured spirit.

We’ve never been taught how to be present with reality.

And with that in mind, we don’t shame those who have offered this diluted, programmed response to a mother.

It was probably well-meaning.
Now we hone in on well-being + it begins with quitting the bypassing of Mothers’ grieving hearts + allowing her to come apart.

From base, she rises.
