Our country celebrates moms every May, and rightfully so,
for our mothers have done so much for us. But with all the roses, cards, and
“Happy Mother’s Days,” there are some who are left out.
First, there are the ones who have lost their mothers. As
time helps to heal the wounds, Mother’s Day can become a great time of
reflecting back on the mothers that has passed on, but there is still a sorrow
that is begging to be comforted. This is especially true for children or those
who have recently lost their mother. We need to remember them and give them
extra, but not awkward, support on Mother’s Day.
The other group that is generally left out on Mother’s Day
is those ladies who have not been blessed with children of their own. Whether
through infertility or child loss, there are millions of women in this country
that won’t have a child to tell them Happy Mother’s Day.
If that is you or someone you love, there is still a special
way that you can celebrate Mother’s Day. If you have lost a child, no matter
how far along, even right at conception, then know that your child is alive and
well in heaven. The fact that you have a child still makes you a mother.
So on Mother’s Day, take time to reflect on the child who is
in heaven, and if you are a Christian, thank God that you will have eternity to
spend with the child that left too soon.
