he Other Mother’s Day
By Kathy Coffey - Excerpts from St. Anthony Messenger
Sure, I’m a sucker for Mother’s Day. What’s not to like—the pampering, the unaccustomed leisure, the meals
I don’t prepare, the kids trying to cook, gift, charm and repair the brain damage caused the previous year?
The media sing mom’s praises and the advertisers woo us with perfume, jewelry and lingerie. It’s a lovely
custom, well timed in spring as lilacs bud, grass greens and warmth returns.
But lately I’ve been thinking about the other side of Mother’s Day: the heartbreak. For too many people, this
day doesn’t mean corsages, brunches and presents. Within my immediate circle are seven teenagers whose moms have died and
two moms whose sons have died, tragically young. Broaden this to all whose mothers or children have died recently. That’s a lot
of people whose throats tighten when they see the impossibly attractive models in the newspaper or TV ads.
Imagine those whose mothers or children are serving in the military, or are incarcerated, institutionalized or alienated. Many
women yearn to be mothers, but even the expensive ordeal of fertility treatments hasn’t filled their empty arms. Then there are moms
who’ve given up a child for adoption or abortion, whose hearts harbor questions and whose hands long to tousle a toddler’s hair, even
to know what color it is. Women who’ve had a recent miscarriage or a stillbirth—how must they feel?
Some might argue that the sorrow of some shouldn’t overshadow the joy of many. True enough. Let the celebration of moms continue
full force—with a heightened sensitivity. If we are truly members of one mystical body in Christ, then for us, “when one cries, the other
tastes the salt.” If one person delights in health, it doesn’t diminish compassion for another who is ill. So too for Mother’s Day. Emphasis
on the “perfect” relationship (which no one has) worsens the heartache for those who feel distant from it.
We’re not out to reform the media here, a task like teaching a pig to sing—an annoying waste of time for both parties. Once again, we
take a countercultural stance. Within the Catholic community, we should discover ways to make this holiday less painful for those who
don’t fit the prefabricated mold.
The mother figure most central to the Catholic tradition is Mary. We do her a great disservice by pretending that her life was idyllic. Some
statues suggest that she did nothing but gaze piously at the sky or look vapidly at the lilies. Instead, she suffered the same push-pull all
mothers do, delighting in her child’s growth yet knowing that every day brought her closer to his departure.
Mary’s tension was magnified by knowing that her son’s integrity would surely set him in conflict with both political and religious
authorities. All moms have dreams for their offspring; surely, she never imagined that her kind, sensitive boy would die hanging naked, a
criminal crucified between two thieves.
Because Mary lost her child, the Mothers of the Disappeared feel close to her. So did an Italian mother whose sorrow for her dead son
was so intense, she could only rock, whispering, “Madonna capisce” (“the Mother understands”).
Because Mary was fully human, she endured bewilderment, confusion, disappointment and pain. No stranger to excruciating loss, she
embraces those to whom Mother’s Day brings only nightmares. We can turn to her when we’re waiting tensely in the principal’s office,
the ER or the jail.
Even after Jesus’ death, she played a decisive role in the squabbles of the early Church. Because she tried to keep the first Christians
faithful to Jesus’ vision, she’s the patron for moms who bring peace to warring families.
The first, best teaching occurs at home. Children who are already making or buying gifts for their mom should be encouraged to think
beyond their immediate family. The elderly neighbor would surely appreciate a bouquet, too.
Telling stories or talking at meals about those who may not have a mom to celebrate sows the seeds of understanding. Could a childless
aunt or lonely friend be included in a dinner invitation?
Too often, people don’t know what to say to the recently bereaved, so they abandon them to a solitary grief. At home, we model that
even a bumbling attempt is welcome: a call or e-mail simply to say, “I was thinking about you today.”
Our rituals have always expressed—with more power than language—our core beliefs. If Catholics value life, we should ritualize it. We
believe the fetus is fully human: then why so few rituals for a miscarriage? Why do we never pray publicly for the mom who’s placed her
baby for adoption? Many people think she’s done the right thing, but support for her seems thin and silent.
We are learning more about grief; surely, naming it and holding it in prayer long after the funeral is a necessary step toward healing. Many
parishes give mothers a flower or say a blessing over them. Those efforts could be expanded by inviting those who mourn mothers or
children to participate, too.
Have a Blessed Mother’s Day!

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
