When Mama Bear Has to Step Back

from Oma’s Musings Hosted by Oma's Musings

Being a mama bear doesn’t end when our children grow up—but loving them through adulthood looks different. In this tender episode, Kathy shares the raw struggle of watching your adult child face life’s valleys and learning to step back in faith instead of stepping in to fix. If your heart aches from the sidelines, this gentle reminder will comfort you: letting go isn’t giving up—it’s giving it to God. Welcome to Oma’s Musings—a cozy space where life slows down, faith runs deep, and the clutter (both physical and emotional) begins to clear. I’m Kathy—wife, mom, Oma, and now navigating this beautifully messy season of retirement. Whether you're downsizing, caregiving, organizing your home, growing in your faith, or simply craving a little peace, you're in the right place.
