Mothers Day

With Mothers Day approaching, you may have already started to experience anxiety building over this day. Mothers Day can be difficult for mothers and fathers, you both may feel lonesome, confused, and/or saddened by this day. You are all mothers, whether you have living children or not. You are still mothers.   You may not be able to care for your child on earth, but  motherhood remains within you.

Happy Mother’s Day to those of you who have only dreamed of a child you could never conceive.


Happy Mother’s Day to those of you who never got to feel your child flutter in your womb for he was gone too soon.

Happy Mother’s Day to those of you who went through labor to hold a still, silent yet perfect angel baby in your arms.

Happy Mother’s Day to those of you who looked day by day at your healthy baby only to find her silent, cold and gone one day.

Happy Mother’s Day to those of you who fought hard and whose child fought harder for a life too short.

Some ideas for Mothers Day:

• Buy yourself a mothers day card or memento
• Plant flowers
• Proudly wear a corsage out (Yellow is for a bereaved mother)
• Visit your childs grave or special place
• Light a candle for your child
• buy extra soft tissues and take care
• Its your day do what you can.
