This is for the new mums, experienced mums, the mums-to-be and the single mums. The mums who have lost a child, who long to be a mum, who have strained relationships with their children, and the stepmums. The mums who have had motherhood thrust upon them, who have had to act like a mum for siblings, friends, and the children of friends, those who have lost mums, and those who have chosen not to be mums for any reason whatsoever.
Mothering Sunday can be a joyful time for many. It can also be a difficult time. But whatever your experience of motherhood looks like, just know that you are seen and that there are others who share your experience.
Luckily, celebrating Mothering Sunday doesn’t feel as mandatory as, say, Christmas. If you’re avoiding the holiday, we recommend engaging in some self care to prevent triggers from affecting your wellbeing. This could be anything from checking in with your therapist, to heading out of town for a weekend away, to indulging in an extended wash day and skincare routine.
On the other hand, if you are celebrating, there are plenty of ideas on how to give your mum (or yourself) the perfect Sunday to let her know that she’s loved and appreciated. Whatever your situation on 27th March, we’ve ticked all the boxes in our guide to Mothering Sunday.
