Dear Mother! You Are Not Failing, You Are Feeling

You are not failing.

You are feeling.

And that’s exactly what mothers do.

They feel everything so deeply.
The weight of responsibilities.
The endless decisions.
The exhaustion that sometimes lingers.
The joy that fills the heart in the smallest of moments.

A mother feels — and yet she still shows up.

✨ She shows up for her children, even when her body aches.
✨ She shows up for her Lord, remembering that every struggle in His path is written as reward.
✨ She shows up for love, because her heart was created to nurture, comfort, and guide.

Dear mother, it is not failure to feel overwhelmed.
It is not weakness to shed tears.
It is not defeat to pause and breathe.

Your feelings are a sign of your heart’s softness, your care, your sincerity. And Allah sees every effort, even when the world doesn’t.

🤍 So, remind yourself: you are not failing — you are faithfully feeling, and still choosing to rise. That in itself is a victory.

Keep going, dear mother. Your presence is more valuable than your perfection.
