Parenting is demanding in every way, and when children have special needs, it can be all-consuming. A weekend getaway for a group of 8 mothers was not just an escape but a celebration of friendship, support, and the freedom and joy to simply be ourselves.
We all tried to leave behind the responsibilities and challenges for a weekend and ventured away from home. I am sure every one of them has done their share of preparation for days for this short trip.
A cozy retreat in Berkshire unfolded with laughter, camaraderie, and shared experiences. Life stories, hopes, disappointments, and worries were shared over long conversations with coffee, tea, and some wine about the joys and struggles of motherhood. We shared resources and offered each other unwavering support, knowing very well that judgment had no place in this group. But at the same time, we all enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, danced, sang, dressed up in sarees, and played games, and watched movies.
Away from the constant demands of appointments, therapies, and daily routines, these mothers found solace in each other's company, and we returned home with hearts full and spirits rejuvenated. The responsibilities and caregiving were still there, but with the energy and memories of the weekend, we all are better equipped to deal with whatever lay ahead.
