Nobody tells you grief has a targeting algorithm now. That the internet, trying so hard to know you, will hand your mother back to you for half a second and then pull her away just as fast.
You close the tab. You go back to your day. Part of you feels a little silly for how much an ad just rattles you.
The hardest part is wanting to talk to someone about it. Except you don't know how to even start that conversation with a friend or a coworker who hasn't lost her mom.
How do you explain that a marketing algorithm just undid you for the rest of the afternoon?
That’s what most people don't understand about mother loss: it's not one big grief you move through and finish. It's a hundred small ones that keep showing up when you least expect them. And most of them are too small to explain to anyone who hasn't lived this.
That's why this community exists. A place where a moment like that doesn't need explaining, because everyone here already knows how it feels.
Here’s where to find us:
