Looking for gentle ways to talk to my mom about my faith

Assalamualaikum, I recently embraced Islam and I'm finding it difficult to talk about this with my mom. She was upset when she saw me praying Salah, and now she's asking me to join her for Easter and other holiday events. Honestly, I don't feel comfortable going to church anymore since I'm Muslim. She doesn't attend regularly herself, only for big holidays. Does anyone have advice on how I can explain this to her gently? I don't want to make her angry or hurt, but I need to be honest about my beliefs.

May Allah make it easy for you. I'd suggest writing her a heartfelt letter explaining your journey - sometimes words on paper feel less confrontational.

Patience is key here. My mom came around after seeing how Islam improved my character over time. Just be consistent in your kindness.

Been through this too sis. Just keep showing her love through your actions - that's what matters most. Maybe invite her to share iftar with you when Ramadan comes?
