Why it's okay to not love Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a wonderful holiday, but it can also be hard for many mothers. Sometimes it can remind moms of loss, the loss of a child, the loss of their own mother, the loss of their freedoms as an overwhelmed mother. Other times it's just a day where they'd like a break from the constant demands of motherhood. For women who are dealing with a postpartum mood disorder, the day can be especially hard when they have depression or anxiety. Host Lindsay Aerts talks with Brook Dorff, Maternal Mental Health Specialist with the Utah Department of Health about why it's okay to not love this day, and how women who are dealing with postpartum issues can get help.
