This is why we simply call our candle "Happy Mother's Day'.
I lost my mum 4 days before my 12th birthday. It was devastating as neither me nor my brother knew how ill she was and in those days, no-one really talked about cancer. Neither did people really talk about the death of a parent, much less be offered counselling and so we just got on with it and it seemed no-one ever mentioned her as it was too painful. And so we struggled on, pretended it never happened until the loss hit me profoundly in my late teens - and I eventually got some support from various people including a local church pastor who is still a close friend to this day.
Mother’s Day has always been hard though and I’ve always struggled with it - despite having a step-mum. As I got older and got married, I began to focus on becoming a mum myself but that never happened despite a couple of rounds of IVF and so Mother's Day remained difficult.
This year, though, my husband and I are doing some respite foster care, which has already added so much to our lives despite its challenges. And, of course, we have our fur babies - shout out to Alfie, Betty and Bradley!
And this is why we call our candle 'Happy Mother's Day'. It's not addressed to anyone and is deliberately generic. You may wish to celebrate the bones of your mum or she may not be around for whatever reason. You may have others who have raised you who you'd wish to celebrate. You may have family, might be trying to get there or you might be happy on your own. It doesn't matter if you have someone to buy for or not, you can just treat yourself or someone special this Mother's Day with a simple message 'Happy Mother's Day.'
I should add our Mother's Day candle smells gorgeous, scented with White Pear & Freesia and comes in a matte pink container in a luxury gift box.
