Honoring a Mother in Spirit on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day can be a beautiful, complicated, emotional experience especially when your mother is in Spirit.

It’s a day that brings a swirl of emotions from grief, love, longing, gratitude to maybe even a little anger, regret, or bittersweet peace.

When someone we love so deeply crosses into Spirit, our relationship with them doesn't end it just changes. The love remains and continues.

Mother’s Day can stir up that longing for the physical presence we miss: her voice, her hugs, her laughter. And yet, it can also be an opportunity to celebrate the bond that time and space can never take away.

You are allowed to grieve. You are allowed to miss her. You are allowed to feel joy. Whatever you feel today, or leading up to Mother’s Day, is valid. Spirit welcomes your honest emotions. Spirit knows what is in your heart.

While my mother is still here in the physical world and I have not yet experienced the loss of a parent, I do know the pain of losing a deeply loved maternal figure. I lost my Nana, who was more than a grandmother to me; she was a source of unconditional love, wisdom, and guidance.

Our bond was and still is, something special. Even after her passing, our relationship has continued. Today, she is one of my Spirit guides who helps me with my mediumship.

Before every session, I ask my Nana to step forward to watch over the connection, to strengthen the energy, and to help bring through love and healing for those who are sitting with me. It’s a sacred ritual, and it reminds me every day that love does not die.

Just as I still feel my Nana’s presence, I truly believe your loved ones are near you, too. Especially around days as tender and emotional as Mother’s Day.

In my experience, around holidays and special occasions .. the ones that make me miss my loved ones in Spirit a little more deeply then usual. I find comfort in doing something quiet, private, and personal to honor them. Taking this intentional time helps me acknowledge their presence, express gratitude for the relationship we shared, and hold space for my memories.

By honoring my loved ones in Spirit in my own private way, I’m able to show up more fully for the loved ones still with me in the physical world. I can celebrate the day, embrace moments of happiness, and share laughter without carrying guilt for the waves of grief that may still come. Grief and joy can exist together and giving my loved ones a moment of remembrance helps me move through both with an open heart.

Beautiful Ways to Honor Your Mother in Spirit This Mother’s Day

If you’re searching for ways to feel close to your mother’s spirit, here are a few loving ideas:

🌸 Light a Candle: Set aside a quiet moment, light a candle in her honor, and invite her energy to be with you. Breathe deeply and allow yourself to feel her presence.

🌸 Write Her a Letter: Tell her what’s on your heart. Share your memories, your gratitude, your life updates. She will hear you.

🌸 Cook or Bake Her Favorite Dish: Food carries memories. Preparing a meal that reminds you of her can be a beautiful sensory way to connect.

🌸 Visit a Place You Both Loved: Whether it’s a park, a beach, or a cozy coffee shop, spend time somewhere that holds shared memories.

🌸 Talk to Her: Speak her name. Tell her you love her. Spirit can hear our words and feel our intentions. It doesn’t have to be formal. It just has to be real and Spirit already knows your feelings.

🌸 Book a Mediumship Session: Sometimes, we just need that extra validation. It can be a sign, a message, a moment of connection. Mediumship sessions can be a powerful, healing way to feel your mother's presence.

🌸 Celebrate Yourself: If you are a mother or a nurturer in any form, take time to honor yourself too. You carry her legacy within you.
