Who gives you unconditional love when you need it most?

 

 

 

 

We all need unconditional love at some point in our lives.

Life can be full of challenges.

When you have lost something or someone you love and value, is when you are most likely to need comfort and support. Perhaps you have lost a child, partner, home, business or a job. All can leave you feeling bereft and upset as if your whole life is falling apart.

Even in adulthood, you can often crave your mum or someone else special whom you loved as you were growing up. From as early as you can remember, your mum was the one who picked you up when you had fallen over.

Mum is the person who loves you no matter what has happened.

When I was unexpectedly widowed in my 40s, I was so grateful I still had my mum. It was her love that got me out of bed in the morning. She nurtured me back to life. She gave me comfort when I was down. Then she turned me around and told me to go out and rebuild my life.

A mum’s love can be tough at times.

But she was right….

I wasn’t going to improve my life mopping around home.

Mum: maybe she is the very person you have lost, perhaps she has passed. It’s tough no matter how old you are.

I love my mum and the unconditional love she always gave me.

You never really loose your mum. She is always in your heart, and she feels your love as you do hers.

Now you realise it really is time to grow, to be able to provide unconditional love and wisdom to the next generation. All that you have learnt from your mum, you can use in how you love and nurture your own children or even your grandchildren.

Whether you are giving or receiving love, this coming weekend is the time to celebrate mums. They are such an important person in our families and communities.  We really appreciate the love and wisdom they give us.

UK Mother’s Day 19^th March

Do you have a treat planned for mum? It doesn’t need to be big and elaborate. She will be happy you acknowledge her and all she has done for you. It’s good to remember the happy times together when you laughed and hugged.

Long may they continue.
