Every woman embarks on a unique journey to motherhood, and for some, it can be a heart-wrenching experience that leaves them feeling lost and in need of support. The desire to have a child, regardless of any challenges they may face, can be overwhelming, giving rise to numerous questions and uncertainties: What steps can be taken? Where can one seek guidance? What lies ahead?
In our modern society, various options such as surrogacy, IVF, and adoption are available, offering hope and fulfillment to those yearning to become parents. However, for women who undergo the physical and emotional toll of childbirth, a deeper contemplation arises: Is it all truly worthwhile?
Some mothers firmly believe that the journey of motherhood is indeed worth every sacrifice and struggle, while others may find themselves grappling with feelings of resentment or frustration. The process itself can be incredibly challenging, marked by heartburn, paranoia, and a constant state of emotional flux.
As a daughter, I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation and understanding for the highs and lows that mothers experience. To all the mothers out there, both present and future, on behalf of the children yet to be born and those who have already arrived, I want to convey my gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Mom, for the nine months (and more) that you carried me through. Thank you for enduring all the pain and suffering.”
(The title above represents a quote from a song, while the remaining words are my own.)
