Mothering is not always linear.
Not every story follows the path we imagined.
Today, on Mother’s Day, I’m reflecting on what mothers bring to a family…..the invisible holding, the nurturing, the softness, the strength, the endless giving of themselves.
Today I honour:
The women longing to become mothers.
The mothers who have lost babies or children.
The children whose mothers are no longer here.
The stepmothers, grandmothers, foster mothers and chosen mothers.
The women mothering through hardship, exhaustion, uncertainty and healing.
The mothers of animals who pour love into caring for their creatures.
Mothering takes many forms.
It is not defined by biology alone, but by devotion, care, tenderness and love.
May today feel gentle for those celebrating, grieving, longing, remembering, or simply getting through. 🤍
