The relationship with the mikvah (ritual bath) changes so much when month one turns into month twelve.

What starts as a new ritual can quickly become a monthly reminder of what hasn't happened yet. It is a lot to ask of a person—to show up, to prepare, and to find meaning in a cycle that feels like it’s breaking your heart.

It is possible for this mitzvah to feel both holy and heavy at the same time.
