Good morning, MOTHERS DAY TRIGGERING I just received an email from Nespresso regarding special Mothers Day gifts (they send holiday promotions regularly). This one, however, was a note that “We know Mothers Day can be difficult for some people” and allowed for turning off receipt of Mothers Day promotions. I don’t understand the triggering nature of Mothers Day or the need to provide warnings and deletion of messages. Having lost a child, I would have to think we are among the most vulnerable at moments such as these. Maybe we are just made of tougher stuff, but I hardly think Nespresso’s focus on the trauma of receiving a message about a holiday sale is necessary or even helpful, even for those who might suffer some discomfort. We all must face our traumas, our fears, and our sensitivities.
