Such tenderness in Jude's act of hugging the statue and at the same time nurturing herself and her birth mother. It brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you. I responded to the desire within. I felt a little afraid someone would see. It took some courage but it became a sacred moment that was healing.

I'm glad you did it and wrote the story so we could witness your grief/pain and your healing.

Nurturing story! I love how you take the metaphor of the stone mother and make her real, bring her to life for you and the archetypal Mother.

There is an archetypal Death Mother as well and I felt connections to both Death Mother and Mother through this moment with the statue. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.
