Emotions around Mother’s Day can be complex. While many new mothers find the experience incredibly fulfilling, it is also challenging and exhausting. Many experience joy and sadness at the same time. Those in a supporting role are often confused as to how to help their partner. A change to the traditional roles has brought about many benefits. New and experienced parents work together to support each other, contributing to their well being and that of their children.
These valuable early connections from parents to their children increase a sense of belonging and purpose. Countless studies show that they increase our self-confidence and boost our ability to experience happiness in our lives.
Mother’s Day is one way to show our gratitude to those that have made an impact on us. Whether you are reminiscing for those that have passed or celebrating with your Mother on this special day, take time to give thanks for loving memories passed and present. Feelings of gratitude are beneficial to our health, body and mind. Life is full of difficulties but also beauty.
Gifts, acknowledgements and remembrances are ways for us to express our gratitude. We hope you have a wonderful and Happy May!
