It must be difficult to be a mother, ” she continued thoughtfully. “To create and nurture and raise a tiny person, to invest all of your heart in it, only to have them grow up and not need you anymore. It must hurt to feel that kind of abandonment. To be forced to let go because of time and nature and the well-being of… both the child and the mother, I suppose? Eda J. Vor
About This Quote

To be a mother is an honor that few women achieve in their lifetime. Being a mother is a huge responsibility that can be very difficult to fulfill. However, when you have children you feel certain emotions that are hard to explain. At times, you may feel angry towards them because they are growing up and leaving you.

Other times, you might feel sad because they are growing up and leaving your life behind. You are faced with these emotions when they are born but also when they leave our life, when they grow up and start their own lives away from the family home. It must be difficult to feel this type of abandonment, feeling that you are being left by your children who can't bare to leave you behind.
