The Truth About Mothers Day

Hello Beautiful Souls,  It seems like a blip since I wrote you in April.  My spring dance card is already full and I feel like I'm already making my plans for June. I want to dedicate this communication to Mothers Day and truths we don't often talk about. Do you sometimes feel anxious about Mothers Day? I certainly do.  Mother’s Day, while intended as a joyful celebration to honor mothers, it can bring up a mix of complicated feelings for children, mothers, and fathers. The day taps into deep emotional ties, memories, and sometimes unspoken expectations, which can create a tangle of emotions—some loving, others painful or conflicting. For children, especially as they grow older, Mother’s Day can stir a blend of love, gratitude, guilt, or even resentment. Some children may feel pressure to express appreciation even when their relationship with their mother is strained or distant. Others may carry grief if their mother has passed away or is absent in some way. Children of divorced parents or blended families might also feel confused about how to honor multiple maternal figures. For mothers, the day can be filled with both joy and vulnerability. Some feel truly celebrated and appreciated, but others might feel overlooked, exhausted, or unfulfilled. Motherhood is idealized in many cultures, and that ideal doesn’t always match lived experiences. As a  mom you might feel guilt over perceived shortcomings, sadness about lost pregnancies, or loneliness if her children are estranged or far away. For new mothers, expectations of joy can clash with postpartum challenges or the realities of caregiving. For fathers, Mother’s Day can also be emotionally complex. They may take on the responsibility of organizing the day on behalf of young children, which can be a source of stress. In cases of separation or loss, a father might feel unsure about how to support his children emotionally while also managing his own feelings—whether those involve respect, resentment, nostalgia, or grief.  Mother’s Day can be beautiful, but it’s also deeply personal. The celebration touches on identity, relationships, and sometimes loss or longing. Acknowledging that it's not always simple—for anyone—can help create more honest, compassionate ways of observing the day. Let’s dive into a sincere and authentic expression to celebrate mothers. In my video below I  share a practice that can help grapple with some of the feelings I have highlighted above and hopefully create an experience that feels more fulfilling.  My Community Building Offerings    Soul Write Therapy Circle  Ancestral Tea Parties  Mediation As Medicine  Writing.
