When Mother’s Day Feels Complicated

Mother’s Day is a mix of emotions.

For new or soon-to-be mothers, this season may bring deep joy—the wonder of new life, the beauty of nurturing your little one. But it can also bring unexpected emotions—sadness, frustration, numbness, or confusion.

Mother’s Day can stir grief, longing, or even peace. Whatever emotions arise for you, they are valid. And they can exist alongside the beauty and weight of motherhood.

I invite you to take a few moments to pause and reflect. Jot down a prayer about your feelings this Mother’s Day. It could be a prayer of gratitude, a cry for help, or a mix of both. If this feels like a stretch, take heart-"Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." (Matthew 6:8)

You are seen. You are known. You are loved.

If you're looking for a meaningful Mother’s Day gift—for yourself or a loved one—the Grace-Filled Postpartum Journal is a thoughtful way to honor the journey of motherhood.

Wishing you grace this Mother’s Day.
