"Many Photos" - Twitter users share their ways of coping with the loss of a loved one on 'painful' Mothering Sunday

For some who have lost their mothers, or perhaps even a child, Mothering Sunday can be a difficult celebration. 

Twitter users have been sharing how they cope on the day, and have reached out to one another using hashtags like #DeadMumsClub and #OthersDay in order to honour the loss of a loved one or broken relationship. 

Many used the hashtag #HappyOthersDay to discuss their shared experiences of a non-traditional Mothering Sunday. 

Prince William and Harry's mental health initiative Heads Together was just one of those to post about how difficult the day could be. 

The charity tweeted: 'For some, Mother's Day is a time of celebration and gratitude, but for others it can be difficult and painful.' 

Some social media users weren't so keen to celebrate Mother's Day, with many acknowledging that the day could be difficult for 'lots of people'. (Stock picture)

Social media users called for a 'peaceful' day for those who hadn't got a more traditional relationship with a parent 

The cause is particularly close Prince William and Harry's hearts, as the Princes lost their mother, Princess Diana, when they were teenagers.  

The tweet went on to ask people who may know someone struggling to reach out and 'let them know you're there and that whatever they're going through, it's okay to say.' 

'Mothering Sunday is hard for lots of people. Whether through death, separation, divorce, conflict, infertility, pregnancy loss or any other reason, be kind to yourself (and others) today,' one social media user commented. 

'And if it's a good day for you, give your mum/baby an extra hug and a big thanks.' 

Some used the hashtag to share their advice for other's who be having a rough day, and used the movement as a means of supporting one another 

Other users offered support for one another as well as advice on how to get through the day. 

'Happy Mother's Day people of the #deadmumsclub,' one user wrote. 'If you're a new member I really recommend getting off social media and going for a walk or something'. 

Another wrote:'I'll be eating all the Easter chocolate I can find today. How are other people coping with #mothersday who are in the #DeadMumsClub? At least we can stop having to resist knocking card stands over and reclaim the aisles of Tesco.'   

Social media users reached out with a range of hashtags to find others who may also be finding the day difficult, including #DeadMumsClub and #HappyOthersDay

Earlier in the week, The Griefcast podcast host Cariad Llyod encouraged social media users to share their feelings and seek support using the hashtag #DeadMumsClub or #DMC.

And others used the hashtag #OthersDay, to support those who didn't feel able to celebrate Mother's Day for whatever reason. 

Some used the hashtag to talk about losing their own children, with one heartbreakingly writing: 'Sending love to all those finding mother's day hard. It's tough seeing other people  happy and celebrating when you are grieving.'

The user went on:'Remember that your child does not have to be here in your arms for you to be a mother. Take care xxx'
