A Mother’s Love By BigmommaJ
A mother’s love is something that doesn’t come with instructions. It grows inside of you the moment you hold your child, and it never stops—no matter what life throws your way.
As a mother of seven, I know this truth in the deepest way. My children have been my greatest joy and my greatest teachers. They’ve taught me patience, strength, forgiveness, and above all—unconditional love. Even when life became heavy with struggles, even when I doubted myself, even when I felt broken, the one thing that never left me was the love I had for my kids.
There were days when I wasn’t sure how I would make it through, times when guilt and shame whispered that I wasn’t enough. But even in those moments, my children were the reason I kept fighting. A mother’s love doesn’t stop when she’s tired. It doesn’t quit when life gets hard. It keeps showing up—through tears, through prayers, through late nights of worry and early mornings of hope.
As a mother, I’ve learned that love isn’t just about holding your child when things are good. It’s about loving them when they’re hurting, when they’re angry, when they’re pushing you away, and even when life’s battles—addiction, mental illness, pain—make everything feel impossible. My love for my children has been tested in ways I never thought I’d survive, but it never left.
There were nights I cried myself to sleep, wondering if I was enough. Times I felt guilt heavy on my chest, questioning every decision. Days I worried that my struggles might overshadow the love I carried inside me. But here’s what I know now: my children have always been my reason to keep going. Even in my darkest moments, the love I had for them was my anchor.
A mother’s love is fierce. It forgives when the world says not to. It believes when no one else does. It sacrifices without keeping score. And sometimes it means standing back and letting your child find their own way, even when every part of you wants to protect them.
Now, as a grandmother, I see love come full circle. Watching my granddaughter grow reminds me that a mother’s love passes down through generations. It’s in the way we hold our babies, the way we speak life into them, the way we never give up—even when the world tells us to.
If you are a mother walking through hard times—please know, you are not alone. Your love is enough, even when you feel broken. And if you are someone’s child, remember this: your mother’s love runs deeper than you’ll ever fully understand.
A mother’s love is not perfect. It’s messy, it’s raw, it’s full of mistakes and lessons learned the hard way. But it is also the most powerful force I’ve ever known. It heals, it forgives, it carries us through storms.
To every mother out there—your love matters. Even when you feel unseen, even when you feel like you’ve failed, your love is shaping lives in ways you can’t always see. And to every child—know that your mother’s love runs deeper than you’ll ever truly understand.
Because a mother’s love never dies. It is endless, timeless, and unshakable.
