Motherhood

Motherhood means family, happiness, love, and peace. It is care.

One of the things we struggle with as mothers is the constant worry of not being good enough.

My thoughts often revolve around whether I’m doing enough for my children.

I remember when Ghafra was growing up and how I constantly felt worried about everything.

But as she went through her teenage years, I gradually became her best friend, confidant, and advisor, which I believe is so important. Now, as she builds her career and lives life on her own terms, I feel like I’ve done a fine job.

Now, I have the responsibility of three children.

They are a blessing from God, and I care about them deeply. Their father has done an amazing job raising them so well.

One of the things that I’m working on is not transferring the trauma to our children, ensuring that our children do not carry the effects of unresolved trauma.

My husband has helped me heal from trauma. He is, in fact, the only one who took care of me, healed me, and is still healing me, when they messed me up.

I hope to be the best mother for our children. I hope that we’re the best parents for them.

May God keep my beautiful family safe and protected, always.
