@remembermehealth: There’s a kind of heartbreak that comes with being a mother in chronic pain that I don’t think people talk about enough. It’s watching your baby grow, wanting to chase him around the house, scoop him up a thousand times, and get lost in all the little moments of motherhood, while your body is begging you to stop. It’s lying on the floor, stretching through debilitating pain, trying to find a position that hurts a little less, while your baby thinks you’re just playing together. And maybe that’s the hardest part. Because to him, this is just another beautiful moment with his mommy. But to me, it’s another moment of fighting through pain that nobody can see. I never imagined that becoming a mother would also mean grieving the version of motherhood I thought I would have. I don’t want to be called strong for surviving this. I want answers. I want relief. I want to feel healthy enough to enjoy these years without constantly negotiating with my own body. But more than anything, I want my son to remember a childhood filled with love, laughter, and a mommy who showed up, even on the days when showing up looked a little different. And I wish more people understood that just because a mother is still functioning doesn’t mean she isn’t suffering. 🤍 To every parent living with invisible illness or chronic pain, what is one thing you wish people understood about parenting while you’re hurting? #ChronicIllness #Motherhood #ChronicPainAwareness #InvisibleIllness #endometriosis
