A mother is synonymous with all aspects of love by nurture, as in guiding the young ones in the development of independence, self-worth and well-being with loving kindness.

Being a mother can be quite a balancing act if we have a tendency for being overly protective or worrisome when it comes to those most precious little extensions of ourselves. We often need to feel our way in our zealousness to see them happy that we at times overstep their boundaries and try to control their lives beyond the appropriate age.
A good mom naturally holds a space of pure love and light around her child/ren…always.
No two mothers the same
Just as no two children are the same, every mother has a unique bond with each of their children starting with in utero, because every pregnancy is different. Consider the different circumstances around every fetus’ pre-birth life in era, finances, significant other, siblings, crises, health and the personal development of the mother.
Sadly, some mothers are only such by blood and just as there are deadbeat dads, there are deadbeats moms. Or, perhaps the mother is over-bearing, controlling, manipulative and spiteful to her children. Never feel responsible for bad parenting, and never feel guilty if you have to part ways with your mother for the sake of your own health and sanity.
Whether you have a strained relationship with your mother or if you are estranged from her, that nurturing love can be found through meditation, because it is a constant of nature. You can always connect to Universal Love, the love that just is, and honour The Great Mother, Mother Earth or Gaia for an even more powerful sense of nurturing anytime.
At times another person may become a mother figure through circumstance, such as grandmother, stepmom, guardian or adopted and they are a source of nurturing for you, or not. As well, by yourself being the doting mother you never had you get to know that love through your relationship/s with your child/ren and it becomes a powerful force for you.
In the case where your mother has passed over to a higher dimension of light consciousness you can know that she is part of the love that just is, and you may also recognize her energy signature quite strongly at times.
