Episode The Birthday Tears: Why Watching Your Child Grow Feels So Emotional
Why does your child’s birthday make you cry?
In this episode, we unpack the unexpected mix of joy and grief that comes with milestones, new phases, and watching your child grow.
We explore attachment, nostalgia, ambiguous loss, and why the days feel long — but the years feel fast.
If you’ve ever stayed up scrolling baby photos or felt tender on a milestone day, you’re not dramatic. You’re deeply attached.
Motherhood holds joy and grief at the same time.
And both are allowed here.
