Mother's Day...and Other Landmines

We're back after a short hiatus due to life commitments, travel plans, and some social media frustrations that temporarily derailed our recording schedule. We dive into the complexities of Mother's Day and how it affects people differently depending on their relationship with motherhood.• Breaking down why Mother's Day is more complicated than just celebrating mothers• Examining whether wishing "Happy Mother's Day" to non-mothers is appropriate• Discussing the varying expectations mothers have for the holiday• Exploring how to celebrate the day when you've lost your mother• Sharing personal experiences of how we observe (or don't observe) Mother's Day• Comparing Mother's Day expectations to Father's Day and birthday celebrations• Detailing our approaches to caregiving during illness and recoveryWe sincerely apologize for the technical difficulties at the end of this episode - we're learning and promise to figure this shit out. Thanks for putting up with us! Dead Mom Scavenger Hunt is about moving through life after loss without turning it into a whole identity—or pretending it’s not there. It’s two women traveling, eating, finding mildly chaotic situations, and narrating with humor that’s just dark enough to tell you they’ve been through something. The “scavenger hunt” isn’t literal. It’s the ongoing practice of noticing what’s still good, still funny, still meaningful…even when you don't feel like laughing.Holla at us with questions or comments:Email: [email protected]: @deadmomscavengerhuntFollow us on Facebook!Christmas IG: @drugstorecowgirljewelryCara IG: @cara.steinmannOR you can get all the uncut video and audio if you join us on Patreon.
