Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it is a beautiful day to celebrate, and it can also be a sad day for those experiencing loss or whose family does not live close..

Choose your words with care, and offer your greetings personally. Avoid just saying “Happy Mother’s Day” to everyone you meet. Instead, think of something more personal for each person.

On Mother’s Day, be present with those you are with and don’t spend your time on your mobile.

Reach out to someone who might be feeling sad on this day but respect boundaries by avoiding asking them questions that may be too personal.

It is also a wonderful opportunity to send a handwritten note, which is far more lasting and meaningful than a text or a shop bought card. Reflect on what the meaningful person represents in your life and let them know.

Happy Mother’s Day
