To the mum who feels like you are failing. Don't doubt yourself. Right now, it feels hard, but each day you still show up, even through the exhaustion. You pour your love into your children, even though your cup feels empty. You do the best you can, even when you think you can't. And that dear mama is not failing. It takes a lot to be a mum. It takes strength to show up each and every day, even when you don't think you can. It takes patience to teach your children all the things they need to know. It takes empathy to feel their pain when they don't have the words. It takes forgiveness to forgive yourself every time you get it wrong. And most of all it takes unconditional love, because no one will love your child like you do.



and remember Mother's Day isn't about gifts and what you get, it's about remembering you're a mother who is not only amazing but a beacon of hope and love.

hugs to all mums on here whether that be by birth, marriage, adoption or whatever made you a mum xxxx

Dragonmama that is a lovely post and thank you for the wonderful words.

Today is hard for me because I miss my beautiful brave Mum so very much but she taught me how to be brave and strong and I will continue to be so.
Sending so much love to everyone on here you are all amazing xx

Beautiful words I'm feeling it today it's just me and my daughter, my ex would usually of made a card with her for me as that's all that I really loved about mother's day the homemade cards, however I did get one made by school whitch I love. I really hope every one of you have a wonderful day wherever you are and however you spend it, weather it be in bed, with family or going out. Everyone of you inspire me to keep going and not to crumble under all the pressure I feel.xx

I'm struggling today. Lost my ex's family because of all this and I was close to his mum. Glad I've got the kids- they made lovely pictures this morning xx

I am feeling so miserable today and just keep crying because of my son, this time last year I thought it was all back to normal. can't believe its happening again. sorry to bring the mood down but today is so painful and I don't have anyone else to talk to.

Aww just wanted to send you a huge hug xx

We unfortunately cannot change others perception of how they feel towards our loved ones

Have you had a chance to really open up with your mum about this journey? Maybe as Smile suggests write her a letter? xx
