10 conversations worth having this Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day can be a powerful way of celebrating the Mums in our lives. But so often we don’t make the most of it.
For those of us who are lucky enough to have our mums, this day is a chance to get to know them, or the mother figures in our lives even better.
“There are so many questions I wished I’d asked Mum whilst she was around and I’m longing to ask her still - especially as I navigate life as a new parent.”
Sam, CEO and Founder of Octopus Legacy
Sam's mum died suddenly in 2016 in a car accident, which prompted his mission to make the experience of losing someone easier for the people left behind by founding Octopus Legacy.
This Mother’s Day, why not celebrate them, not just with cards or flowers, but with the kind of conversation we don’t usually make time for. Where you take the time to truly connect and share memories, stories and words of advice.
