It's that time of year again when we celebrate our mothers, passed and present. If your mum is no longer with you, maybe you would like to come along to Selim Smith and leave a message in her memory on our tree. The poem 'Your Mother Is Always With You' may help with some words.

Your Mother is always with you!

By: Deborah R Culver

She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.

She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well.

She’s your breath in the air on a cold winters’ day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow.

She is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter.

She’s the place you come from, your first home.

She’s the map you follow with every step you take.

She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy.

But nothing on Earth can separate you.

Not time.

Not space.

Not even death.

Selim Smith would like to take a moment to wish you all a peaceful Christmas.

We know that this time of year can be especially difficult for those who have lost someone they love, or for anyone who may be struggling quietly.

Please be gentle with yourselves, and know that it’s okay to feel whatever you need to feel. Taking a moment to sit with your emotions and seek comfort in your own way is an important part of caring for yourself during this time.
