Making Mom Friends

Sometimes people come into our lives, stay for a short while, and then they go. The time together is lovely, but may seem to end too soon. This can be a really sad concept depending on how you choose to look at it. 

I know I have experienced really great friendships that felt like they ended too quickly. I picture it in my mind like a butterfly. The butterfly flies to a beautiful flower, stays a while, then flutters off and onto the next flower. The time together was nice while it lasted, and then it was over. 

Sometimes these connections are not as beautiful as a butterfly. Sometimes these connections grow to be dark, deceitful, and complicated. Toxic relationships aren’t always easy to identify and ending these relationships can be really hard, even when you know how unhealthy they are. 

So what do we do when friendships end?

Be open to meeting people anyway. Growing a support system is vital to a healthy, happy life. You’re going to meet people you simply don’t jive with or that aren’t a good fit for any number of reasons. You’re also going to meet people who are a good fit but for one reason or another, the friendship doesn’t work out.

Ending relationships can come with feelings of sadness and rejection. Having the coping skills to deal with those feelings will help you move on and move through those completely normal feelings.
