Mother's Day is a beautiful holiday intended to celebrate some of the most important women in our lives. However, this day has different meaning for each person and although it's lack of religious affiliation may make it seem universal and something that everyone can connect with, this particular day isn't pure joy for every person.
While some mamas are being awoken to handmade cards, breakfast in bed, and Popsicle stick craft gifts, there are other women who are struggling to conceive, moms who are suffering after a miscarriage, and dedicated stepmoms who are left feeling like the other woman. Although it's wonderful to be grateful for all that you have on this special day, it's equally important to remember others before you humblebrag on social media, because your words have power.
Just as some women could be extra hurt by an April Fools' Day pregnancy announcement prank on social media, these particular groups deserve just as much sensitivity and awareness on Mother's Day.
