Finding a Place for Mom

To be included, or not to be included. That is the question.

 

A stepmom asked if she should make her stepdaughter include the girl’s deceased mother in pictures, she drew at school. That’s a great question, but I don’t know if she should or not. Kids have their reasons so you need to ask her. “Would you like to include your mom in the picture? We know she has a special place in your heart and in our family, so you can decide. Either way is fine.” Stepmom let me add this. “Bless you” for being mindful of her grief. She is blessed to have you in her life.
