Mother’s Day: When It's Not Straightforward
Mother's Day in the UK is often presented as a warm and joyful day. Cards, flowers, family lunches and social media posts celebrating loving relationships. For many people that is exactly what the day looks like. But for others, the day can feel much more complicated.
Behind the cheerful images can be grief, distance, unresolved relationships or the quiet feeling that something important is missing.
If Mother’s Day feels difficult for you this year, you are far from alone.
