Mother's Day is a beautiful holiday, but for me and so many others, it's a day full of heartache. For those of us who never grew up with a mom, lost our moms, or are even estranged from our moms, it can be a day that's filled with tears, longing, and awkward conversations. All in all, it's very emotionally draining.
Because a lot of people are sensitive to things on Mother's Day, that means a lot of the people around them might not be sure how to act or what to say. And it can be extremely hard for those that are hurting to ask for support. So, if you know someone who may be struggling this Mother's Day for whatever reason, here are five tips to make them feel a little extra love.
Ultimately, you don't have to do much, but remember those of us who maybe aren't able to be happy on Mother's Day. Of course you don't need to drop your own joy, but have some compassion, and give some extra love to someone who may need it.
