For many people in the United States, Mother’s Day is a time of family get-togethers, joyful memories, and gifts honoring their mothers.
But for many people, women especially, this is a day of pain. Women who wanted children but were never so blessed. Mothers who lost children to death or despair. Mothers with missing children. Adoptees who never knew their birth mothers. People who are still grieving the death of their mothers.
To everyone who is silently suffering on this day, I wish you peace.
