Mother’s Day 2022

Today YOU are on our hearts and minds.

You, the bereaved, as this day is the first Mother’s Day without your mom or your child.

You, the faint of heart, after enduring month after month of negative pregnancy tests.

You, the mourning, as this was supposed to be your first Mother’s Day, only to be met with the pain of devastating loss.

You, the new mom, overjoyed by the privilege of becoming a mom, but struggling with your own identity.

You, the single dad, who wears all hats for his children every single day.

You, who decided that having children of your own was not part of your plan.

You, the mother and child duo, who have strained relationships, and today serves as a reminder of that strain.

You, the one who plays the role of mother to children who are not your own.

You, the one who reminds doubting moms that their best is enough.

And you, the joyful mother, soaking in every moment being showered with gratitude and love from your children.

May we all remember that Mother’s Day represents so many things to so many of us. Be kind to yourself and give yourself the space you need if today is a challenging day for you. If you need extra support this week, make an appointment with one of our therapists who are sensitive to the unique challenges you may face on a daily basis.
