đź’śđź’śToday, we honor every kind of mother and every kind of nurturing love.
Birth mothers. Bonus moms. Adoptive moms. Foster moms. Grandmothers. Aunties. TTs. Godmothers. Sisters. Cousins. The women who stepped in and became “Mama” by love, not blood. The chosen mothers. The village women. The protectors. The caregivers. The women who mother everyone around them while carrying their own battles silently.
đź’śWe honor the mothers leading while grieving.
The mothers surviving after violence stole a child.
The mothers carrying the weight of overdose, sickness, tragedy, miscarriage, infertility, or unexpected loss.
The mothers who lost babies the world never got to fully meet.
The daughters and sons spending their first Mother’s Day without their mom.
The women trying to hold families together while their own hearts quietly ache.
💜Mother’s Day can be beautiful and painful at the same time.
Both things can exist together.
đź’śGrief is love out loud.
It is love with nowhere to go physically, so it shows up in tears, memories, traditions, photos, silence, strength, and survival.
đź’śTo every grieving heart today:
Your love still matters.
Your person still matters.
And the way you continue forward, even on the hard days, is a form of courage people may never fully understand.
đź’śToday we celebrate the mothers still here,
the mothers who became mothers through love and sacrifice,
and we honor the ones deeply missed.
đź’śLove does not end because life changed.
💜Holding space for every version of motherhood and every version of grief this Mother’s Day. 🤍
