I read something today that I can’t shake off.
A mom was found lifeless in her home in Phoenix.
No one had heard from her in days.
When the police came, they found her already gone.
On the bed near her was her newborn baby, still alive. She had been alone for days. No food. No care. No sound but silence.
And yet somehow… she survived.
And now, she’s slowly recovering.
I keep thinking about the mom.
Was she tired? Was she in pain? Was she silently calling for help?
Did she think she had to carry it all alone?
Because motherhood is truly a blessing but it can be full of invisible battles.
And sometimes, we check on the baby…
but forget to check on the mother.
So today, I just want to say to check in on the moms.
Not just when they look tired,
but even when they say “I’m okay.”
Especially then.
Because some moms are showing up with a full smile and an empty cup.
Some are giving everything they have and silently running out.
Motherhood is heavy.
We were never meant to carry it alone.
If you’re a mom reading this,
you’re allowed to ask for help and to rest.
And if you know a mom,
Text her.
Ask how she really is.
Let her know she’s not forgotten.
Haaaaay. 💔💔💔
