Although Mother's Day is traditionally for recognising and pampering mums, it can be a trying time for many people; those who have lost their mothers and mothers who have lost children for example. What a wrench it must be also, for those women who have never had the benefit of a loving, caring relationship with their mothers.

However, most of us have someone in our lives to whom we have turned in times of crisis, friends and relatives upon whose shoulders we have cried and those who have shone a ray of hope upon us in desperate times. Those are the people who should be remembered on Mother's Day, irrespective of their gender or their biological connection to us.

Mother's Day is for anyone who has mothered someone and for anyone who has carried a child, whether that applies to biological mothers, adoptive mothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, care providers, childminders, mothers who've lost a child, single mothers, single dads, grandmothers, aunties, sisters or close friends.

Mothers Who Have Lost a Child

In January 1990, a friend of mine tragically lost her first baby a few hours following the birth, due to an incurable heart condition.

On Mother's Day, two months later, she should have received her first Mother's Day card. None came. "Does it mean that I'm not a mother, just because my baby has died?" she asked me. "Of course it doesn't", I said, but I too felt guilty for not having had the forethought to recognise the fact by sending her a card.

The love for her son was still there, but no acknowledgement that she had ever given birth. Her husband, who was still grieving himself, felt that it would have been cruel to give his wife a card under such tragic circumstances and I presume that her parents felt the same way.

Two years later, my friend gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The following Mother's Day, she received a card from her mother that said, "Take it easy on your very first Mother's day". Her mother wasn't consciously being insensitive and yet my friend was mortified. It was not her first Mother's Day, but her second. It was as though her son had never existed.

That experience taught me that even when someone has lost a child, they have a right to celebrate the fact that they have been a parent and this should be recognised by everyone close to them.
