Motherhood is the unpaid labour that is rarely acknowledged, never has a day off and almost always taken for granted.
When women carry a baby in their womb, the nine months are mostly spent incessantly planning, decorating and stocking up on supplies they ll need for their little ones. The one thing that isn t planned though? A death or divorce.
When you re pregnant, no one prepares you for the possibility of being a single parent. There are no YouTube tutorials, no influencers talking about it, few grief support groups, and certainly no crash courses offered on single motherhood. So when it hits you like a rock, how do you navigate life, ensuring that your children are loved, cherished and wholesome human beings ready for the world?
