Mother’s Day can bring love, gratitude, grief, longing, or all of it at once. In this heartfelt reflection, Dr. Veronica Dumas explores the bonds that shape us, the losses we carry, and the healing that can begin when we choose to understand our story with compassion.

At Baypoint Counseling Center in Miami, we understand that Mother’s Day can be as complex as the relationships it honors. For some, it’s a day filled with gratitude and love. For others, it’s a tender reminder of loss, infertility, trauma, or complicated family dynamics.
