Sometimes, Mother’s Day can be a tough weekend. This one is for all you gorgeous women who have been crying as your scroll your news feeds this morning.

Mother’s Day can sting when you have been longing for a baby for a long time, and then someone has the audacity to say to you, ‘good things come those who wait’. I am holding your hand today.

Mother’s Day can be upsetting when your mum isn’t here to celebrate with. I don’t necessarily mean because of being in isolation, I mean when she isn’t here on earth anymore. I am holding your hand today.

Mother’s Day can be hurtful when you are a step mum who doesn’t see eye to eye with your stepchildren, feel left out, or are considered an afterthought. I am holding your hand today.

Mother’s Day can be painful when you don’t have all your children around you at your family lunch because you have lost a child, or they have become estranged. I am holding your hand today.

Mother’s Day can be confusing when you have a jarred relationship with your mum. I am holding your hand today.

Mother’s Day can be hard when you are a single father, trying to navigate parenthood alone and acting as both roles. I am holding your hand today.

Mother’s Day can be tiring when you have experienced several pregnancy losses in silence, and you seem so close yet so far. I am holding your hand today.

Mother’s Day can be a beautiful time, and for many women it is a day of bacon, coffee, peonies and back rubs. Mother’s Day can bring families together and remind us of the love and adoration we have for all the women in our lives. For our other unicorn girls who find this day full of dread, we see you, and we are lifting you all up. You don’t have to lift yourselves, because we’ve got you.
