Mother's day can be a joyous occasion as we celebrate the women who have meant the most in our lives

It can also be a mixed time of emotions as we think about the different aspects of motherhood

Today we honour all wahine for what they bring to our community

Mother’s Day isn’t happy for everyone.

For some, it’s a quiet ache—
a reminder of the baby they never got to hold,
of empty arms and a home that feels too still.

For some, it’s complicated—
a relationship that’s broken, distant, or not worth celebrating.

For others, it’s heavy—
doing everything alone,
or missing a mom they wish was still here.

And for many, it’s silent strength—
loving deeply while carrying struggles no one sees.

So this Mother’s Day, choose kindness.
Be gentle with your words.
Be mindful of what others might be carrying.

Not every smile means they’re okay.
Not every silence means they’re not hurting.

Mother’s Day looks different for everyone—
and every feeling is valid. 🤍
