MOTHER’S DAY OPENS WOUNDS OF BLEEDING BROTHERS, SISTERS

Sir,

As many will be celebrating Mother’s Day, some people might not be aware of the double edged sword associated with the celebration. Somewhere out there, is a woman who would sacrifice her life in order to be a mother. At the other end of the stick, there is a child who never had the opportunity of feeling that motherly love depending on their circumstances. It might sound strange to a lot of people because it seems like an oval house without any windows. The big question is; how can we celebrate the day without opening the wounds of our bleeding brothers and sisters?

Honest

If we can be truly honest with ourselves, we can comprehend that if we hide a sick person, our lamentation alarm will only announce his death. We can never run away from the fact that each person is carrying some heavy burden when it comes to life. Celebrating life is a pulchritudinous way of enjoying the moment. The dilemma manifests itself on how we paint our celebration to the outside world. The strange yet alluring thing about life is that we are all connected and we are searching for the same thing, which is happiness.

Happiness

Happiness requires something to do, something to love and something to hope for. Life becomes a huge mountain to climb when sadness overshadows the lamp of happiness. In short, I besiege those who celebrate this glamorous day to be considerate of those who are indoors on the day, hanging on a thread because of the mixed emotions which overwhelm them.
To the women who are still praying for motherhood, especially those who have miscarried, had a stillborn or cannot conceive, I can only imagine the pain you go through every day. I want you to know that it is not your fault. It is okay not to be okay until you are okay again. Please be kind and gentle to yourselves. You might not be aware of the impact you have in the lives of the people around you.

The purpose of your life might be blurry right now, but you will see the light one day. To the children who never experienced the tenderness of their mother’s love and those who only felt it for a brief moment, it is not your fault. Sometimes our purposes in life hurt and are insane especially when we are going through the darkest phases. You might not be aware of the people you inspire every day and that your presence makes a difference.

Stronger

In most cases, we usually say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger but I would like to put it in another angle; it might not have killed you physically but a part of you died in the process and it is perfectly fine and healthy to mourn that emotional loss. To all the women who are constantly changing the world and sacrificing themselves for the people they love and care about, happy Mother’s Day in advance. Motherhood is all about spreading that love and making the world a better place. We see your efforts and we appreciate everything you do in silence.
