Surviving Motherhood

Mothers’ Day is upon us in many countries around the world, and children of all ages will give flowers, make breakfast, call home. But becoming a mother can carry a terrible burden of fear, anxiety, and loss for many women and their families.

Mothers’ Day is upon us in many countries around the world. Children of all ages will give flowers, make breakfast, call home.

This is as it should be. On my travels around the world, particularly to its poorest and most troubled places, I have learned that it is mothers who keep families together — indeed, who keep entire societies intact. Mothers are society’s weavers. They make the world go round. Yet too often, the world is letting mothers down.

Becoming a mother – the rite of passage that Mothers’ Day celebrates – can carry a terrible burden of fear, anxiety, and loss for many women and their families.
