Motherhood is a journey filled with joy, challenges and countless sacrifices. For mothers of children with special needs, this journey can be particularly demanding.
They often experience intense challenges, including chronic stress, isolation and judgment, while acting as primary caregivers, advocates, and sometimes therapists.
They frequently manage complex medical systems, educational planning, and constant care needs, all of which require significant resilience. Key areas of support include self-care, building community, and managing guilt.
Time, perhaps more than anything else, becomes the backbone of caregiving. Daily routines are rarely simple or predictable. They are structured around therapy sessions, medical appointments, specialised schooling, and carefully planned home care.
