On Mother’s Day we should celebrate and honour all women and their contributions to our lives.
Many women may have faced unique challenges or may have found alternative paths to motherhood, such as through adoption or surrogacy, stepchildren or as a carer. There are many different ways to define motherhood and all paths are valid and valuable.
Self-love and care are important regardless of one’s relationship status or parental status. Encourage the women in your life to take time for themselves and practice self-care, whether that means indulging in a favourite hobby, treating oneself to a spa day, or spending time with loved ones.
Mother’s Day can be a difficult time for those who have lost their mothers. Spend time with family and friends who also loved and knew your mother, sharing stories and memories of her.
Mother’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the unconditional love, support, and guidance that mothers provide. It is a day to recognize the sacrifices that mothers make to ensure the well-being of their children, as well as to acknowledge the important role that mothers play in shaping the future of society. Use the day as an opportunity to acknowledge all women who play important roles in our lives, such as grandmothers, aunts, sisters, or friends, each with unique contributions to our lives and celebrate their impact.
