Set your reminders.
This is a conversation that will stay with you.

Mother’s Day is often celebrated with flowers, brunches, and heartfelt messages — but for many, it’s a painful annual reminder of emotional wounds left by a strained or toxic maternal relationship. For those who experienced neglect, criticism, manipulation, or absence instead of nurturing love, this day can bring a flood of conflicting emotions: sadness, anger, guilt, longing, and even shame. The constant media reminders and cultural pressure to honor a mother figure can leave them feeling isolated and unseen in their pain.

If Mother’s Day feels more like a wound than a celebration, know that your feelings are valid. To survive this season, consider limiting exposure to triggering media, setting clear boundaries with family, and planning a day that centers your healing. Connect with others who share similar experiences in support groups or online communities. Journal your emotions, practice self-care, and focus on chosen family or figures who’ve offered genuine care. Therapy can also provide a safe space to process grief and complex feelings. Above all, give yourself permission to feel — and to protect your peace. Healing doesn’t follow a calendar.

Did you know babies can feel emotions in the womb? 😳 That blew my mind!

It really got me thinking about how deep our wounds go—and how they show up in dating. This convo on with our guest Agiso Odhuno Founder & Lead Coach of The Truth Encounter KE, hit different.

The Silent Tears of a Child

This video has been making rounds, and honestly, it’s heartbreaking. It highlights a painful reality—when two people bring a child into the world but one chooses to walk away. The weight of that decision doesn’t just rest on the shoulders of the parents; the child carries it too, often in silence.

There are so many layers to this sadness:
1️⃣ Children born outside of wedlock suffer deeply—not because they are any less loved by God, but because they were not born into His original design for family. When a home lacks stability, the child feels it in ways we may never fully understand.
2️⃣ The back and forth, the conflict, the blame game—all of it creates stress, insecurity, and confusion for the child. They are left feeling torn between two worlds, unsure of where they truly belong.
3️⃣ This is how wounds of rejection are formed—when a child grows up with the silent (or spoken) message that they were not wanted, not planned, not prioritized. These wounds don’t just disappear; they grow into deep-seated struggles with self-worth, trust, and love.

As a society, we must do better. As individuals, we must take responsibility for our actions. As believers, we must return to God’s wisdom for relationships, commitment, and family.

To the mothers raising children alone—you are seen, you are loved, and you are not alone. God is near to the brokenhearted, and He is a Father to the fatherless.
To the fathers who have walked away—there is always room for redemption. It is never too late to turn back, to step up, to bring healing where there was hurt.
And to those who have been wounded by rejection, may you find healing in the arms of the One who never leaves nor forsakes.
